HC Deb 01 November 1988 vol 139 c921

Lords amendment: No. 21, in page 13, line 3, leave out from first "to" to end of line 6 and insert carry on any such additional activity relating to the provision of general dental services as may be prescribed and, without prejudice to the generality of this subsection, to conduct or commission surveys or other research relating to the provision of such services.

Mrs. Currie

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.

This technical amendment was accepted in Committee in another place. It ensures that the wording of subsection (3)(b)(1C) is sufficiently wide to allow sensible research activity on the general dental services to be undertaken by dental estimates boards. The amendment clarifies the position and removes any unintended inflexibility.

Question put and agreed to.
