HC Deb 17 November 1976 vol 919 cc1469-519

Lords amendments again considered.

Lords amendment: No. 79 in page 35, line 33, leave out of which a person ("the occupier") is in exclusive occupation under and insert in relation to which a person ("the occupier") has".

Mr. Armstrong

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

Mr. Speaker

With this we may discuss Lords Amendments Nos. 11 to 18, 115, 124 and 126.

Mr. Armstrong

These amendments remove redundant wording describing the licence or tenancy held by a protected occupier under the Bill. They are drafting amendments and do not alter the sense of the Bill.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords amendment: No. 80 in page 35, line 45, leave out "to work".

Mr. Armstrong

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

It is a purely drafting amendment to remove unnecessary words.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords Amendment No. 81 disagreed to.

Lords amendment: No. 82, in page 38, line 31, leave out "under this paragraph" and insert 'made under this paragraph—

  1. (a) may contain transitional and other supplemental and incidental provisions, and
  2. (b)"

10.15 p.m.

Mr. Armstrong

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

It is common form for an order-making power to cover the possibility of transitional, supplemental and incidental provisions. This is a prudent policy which is worth following in relation to this power.

Question put and agreed to.
