STATUTORY UNDERTAKERS

HC Deb 11 November 1975 vol 899 cc1223-4

Lords Amendment: No. 31, in page 8, line 23, leave out second "the" and insert "planning".

Mr. Oakes

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this we shall take Lords Amendments Nos. 53, 54 to 59, 62, 65, 67, 68, 78, 91, 94, 98, 105, 106, 110 to 112, 114, 115, 118, 119, 123 to 126, 128, 139, 143, 145, 161, 169, 170, 172, 177, 178, 179 and 184.

Mr. Oakes

The amendments are, with one exception, drafting or consequential amendments arising from changes made in the other place, or in response to undertakings that we gave on Report. That exception is Lords Amendment No. 57, which was accepted in another place.

It is a Scottish amendment, which was accepted in another place in error. I therefore ask the House to agree with the said amendments except for Lords Amendment No. 57.

Similar amendments to Schedule 4 and Schedule 10 were accepted as bringing into the Bill the more appropriate legal formula in Scotland where there is a reference to a legal suit. Unfortunately, Lords Amendment No. 57 to paragraph 12 of Schedule 4 was accepted, but that paragraph has no application to Scotland, and the amendment must therefore be removed.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords amendment agreed to.
