HC Deb 11 November 1980 vol 992 cc386-7

Lords amendment: No. 107, in page 104, line 12, leave out are exercisable by urban development corporations and insert— may be exercisable by an urban development corporation

Mr. King

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

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this it is convenient to consider Lords amendment No. 108.

Mr. King

These are two technical amendments about the laying of orders if it is necessary to modify the functions of a UDC. Without the amendments, it would be necessary to make a fresh constitution order under clause 123 and provide a completely new set of functions. This enables a mere amendment to be made. It does not cut out the normal procedures. The order would still have to be laid, and it would still have to go through the usual procedures in this House.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords amendment No. 108 agreed to.
