HC Deb 10 May 1976 vol 911 cc125-6

7.45 p.m.

Mr. Guy Barnett

I beg to move Amendment No. 50, in page 29, line 38, at end insert: '; and for the purposes of those provisions a member of a police force maintained by such a body shall be treated as employed by the body and references to employment in those provisions shall be construed accordingly'. This amendment ensures that the terms of the clause include the police. As the House will know, policemen are technically not employees of police authorities but servants of the Crown. The amendment is necessary to ensure that they are covered by this clause.

Amendment agreed to.
