HC Deb 02 March 1976 vol 906 c1229

Amendments made: No. 23, in page 4, line 4, leave out paragraphs (a) to (c) of".

No. 24, in page 4, line 6, leave out paragraph (b).—[Mr. Hugh D. Brown.]

Mr. Hugh D. Brown

I beg to move Amendment No. 25, in page 4, line 36, at end insert— (5) In this this section 'land' does not include any building thereon.

Mr. Speaker

With it we may also discuss Amendment No. 26, in page 4, line 36, at end insert— (5) In this section 'land' does not include any permanent building thereon.

Mr. Brown

The amendment aims to clear up what is meant by "land", including buildings. Entry to buildings is not necessary to enable wardens to carry out their duties under the Bill. Therefore, I suggest that the House should accept Amendment No. 25 and reject Amendment No. 26.

Sir John Gilmour

We would accept the exclusion of certain buildings such as dwelling houses because that is reasonable. However, there might be a fishing shelter or a temporary structure on the bank of the river, and that would surely bf one of the places that a warden should have the right to search.

Amendment agreed to.
