Lords amendment: No. 378, in page 139, line 26, at end insert
, the Chief Registrar of Friendly Societies or the Registrar of Friendly Societies for Northern Ireland".
§ Mr. HowardI beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.
This amendment adds the Chief Registrar of Friendly Societies and his Northern Ireland equivalent to the Secretary of State as persons who are excluded from the provisions of clause 171 on the way in which notices may be served under the Bill.
There are separate statutory provisions for serving notices, not only on the Secretary of State, who is consequently excluded from the scope of clause 171, but on the Chief Registrar of Friendly Societies or the Registrar of Friendly Societies for Northern Ireland. This amendment corrects that omission from an earlier version of the Bill.
§ Question put and agreed to.
§ Lords amendments Nos. 379 to 381 agreed to.
