HC Deb 13 July 1981 vol 8 c942 2.15 am
Mr. Monro

I beg to move amendment No. 32, in. page 15, line 17, leave out 'person commissioned by the Commissioners of Customs and Excise' and insert 'officer commissioned or other person appointed or authorised by the Commissioners of Customs and Excise to exercise any function conferred on the Commissioners by the said Act of 1976'.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this we may take Government amendment No. 33.

Mr. Monro

In Committee we discussed the reference to Customs and Excise. The amendment tabled in Committee was not entirely correct, because Customs officers can be appointed or authorised as well as commissioned. Amendment No. 32 seeks to correct the position. Amendment No. 33 is a drafting amendment, consequential upon amendment No. 32. They clarify a Committee point.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendment made: No. 33, in page 15, line 20, leave out 'the said Act of 1976' and insert 'that Act'.—[Mr. Monro.]
