HC Deb 21 December 1983 vol 51 c521
Sir George Young

I beg to move amendment No. 43, in page 47, line 10, at end insert— '(1A) The following provisions of the 1974 Act, namely—

  1. (a) subsection (5) of section 61 (which provides for the repeal of section 71 of the 1936 Act but has not been brought into force); and
  2. (b) subsections (6) and (7) of section 63 (which make provision consequential on that repeal),
shall cease to have effect.'

Mr. Speaker

With this it will be convenient to take Government amendments Nos. 73 and 75 to 79.

Sir George Young

The purpose of the amendments is simply to remove from the statute book certain provisions in the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 which have not been brought into operation and are no longer considered necessary.

Amendment agreed to.
