§ Lords amendment: No. 2, in page 3, line 9, leave out "for assisting persons to meet" and insert "to persons incurring".
§ Mr. Buchanan-SmithI beg to move, that this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.
§ Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. Ernest Armstrong)With this we may take Lords amendment No. 3.
§ Mr. Buchanan-SmithAmendment No. 2 is a drafting amendment to improve the language.
Amendment No. 3 is slightly more substantial. The purpose of clause 3(4) is to ensure that the new Sea Fish Industry Authority's financial aid policies have the approval of the Government. As the Sea Fish Industry Authority's scope for giving financial aid has been widened to the matter of guarantees, this subsection should similarly be widened to bring the guarantee power as well as the grants and loans within the requirement for Government approval.
§ Question put and agreed to.
§ Lords amendment No. 3 agreed to.
