§ EMERGENCY REGULATIONS
§ Lords amendment: No. 99, after clause 36, insert:
"H. In section 2(3) of the Emergency Powers Act 1920 for "of one hundred pounds" there shall be substituted "not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale, as defined in section [Construction of references to "the standard scale"] of the Criminal Justice Act 1982, or not exceeding a lesser amount"."
§ Mr. MayhewI beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.
§ Mr. MayhewThis is not a new provision, but for technical reasons it is necessary to bring into a new clause the provisions relating to the increase in penalties under the Emergency Powers Act which are located in schedules 3 and 7 to the Bill. These are deleted by amendments Nos. 189 and 207.
§ Question put and agreed to.
