HC Deb 13 July 1982 vol 27 c953
The Solicitor-General

I beg to move amendment No. 119, in page 104, line 17 leave out from 'settlement' to 'shall' in line 19 and insert 'in pursuance of a will or intestacy'.

Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. Ernest Armstrong)

With this it will be convenient to take amendment No. 120.

The Solicitor-General

These two essentially drafting amendments are designed to ensure that clause 118 produces the effect that was intended—that a settlement that comes into existence on a person's death, typically a settlement set up by will, will have as its commencement date the date of the settler's death.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendment made: No. 120 in page 104, line 20, leave out from 'it' to end of line and insert: 'on the death of the testator or intestate (whether it occurred before or after the passing of this Act)'.—[Mr. Brooke.]
