§ Mr. Deputy SpeakerWith this it will be convenient to take Government amendments Nos. 92 and 93.
§ Mr. FoxThe amendments make clear that grants paid to reimburse authorities the rate revenue forgone in enterprise zones shall be entirely additional to rate support grants and associated grants in respect of expenditure.
My right hon. Friend made clear in Committee that this was the case. It is now necessary to put the question beyond doubt by adding a reference to enterprise zone grants in subsections (1) and (2) of clause 43, where other grants extraneous to the rate support grants are already listed.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Amendments made:
§
No. 92, in page 35, line 38, at end add—
'and
§
No. 93, in page 36, line 6, at end add—
'(iii) grants under paragraph 29 of Schedule 25 to this Act; and'.—[Mr. Fox.]
§ Mr. Deputy SpeakerWith this it will be convenient to take Government amendment No. 95.
§ Mr. FoxThis is a consolidating amendment. Clause 43 contains the central definition of what is relevant expenditure for rate support grant. That definition has been modified by clause 111 of the Housing Bill. To avoid confusion, the change needs to be referred to in this clause.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Amendment made:
§
No. 95, in page 37, line 2, at end add:
'and
§ Mr. FoxI beg to move amendment No. 96 in page 37, line 29, leave out '(b)' and insert 'and'.
The amendment corrects a drafting error which was made in correcting a printing error in the first published print 302 of the Bill. The grants mentioned in subsection (b) are also to the Receiver of the Metropolitan Police District and should come under subsection (a). We are then back to the position in which we should have been when the Bill was published, that is to say, to have the same effect as in the 1974 Act.
§ Amendment agreed to.
