HC Deb 11 November 1980 vol 992 c370

Lords amendment: No. 99, in page 91, line 3, after "section" insert "county" includes Greater London and "district" includes a London borough, and accordingly—

  1. (a) any reference to the council of a county includes a reference to the Greater London council; and
  2. (b) any reference to the council of a district includes a reference to the Council of a London borough;"

Mr. Fox

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

One effect of clause 105(2) as drafted would be to deprive the London authorities of a grant under section 8 of the Local Employment Act 1972 to which they might otherwise have been entitled. That was certainly not our intention, and we welcome the amendment.

Question put and agreed to.
