HC Deb 31 March 1976 vol 908 cc1487-8
The Minister of State, Scottish Office (Mr. Bruce Millan)

I beg to move Amendment No. 13, in page 4, line 22, at end insert: ' Provided that any such alteration which is made during the year 1976–77, in a case where the caravan site would have been treated as such a single unit of lands and heritages as from 1st April 1976 if this Act had been in force on that date, shall have effect as from that date.'. This amendment is the Scottish equivalent of Amendment No. 3. It arises because the Bill will not be on the statute book by 1st April. It is necessary to have these words to provide that there should not be two assessments in 1976–77 and to ensure that the Bill will apply from 1st April 1976.

Mr. Younger

I thank the Minister of State for tabling this amendment. I have consulted my hon. Friends who were on the Committee and it is acceptable to them. I suggest that we agree to it.

Amendment agreed to.
