HC Deb 13 June 1989 vol 154 cc824-5
Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

I beg to move amendment No. 230, in page 30, line 32, leave out from `committee' to end of line 36 and insert 'as is mentioned in section 23(2) of this Act; or (b) an education committee appointed under section 124 of the Act of 1973;'.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this we shall take Government amendments Nos. 231, 239 and 240,

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

Amendments Nos. 230 and 231 are drafting amendments.

I draw your attention, Mr. Deputy Speaker, to the fact that amendments Nos. 241 and 242, which are not linked with amendments 239 and 240 are identical, and with your leave I will speak to them too.

These amendments are designed to address the rather different Scottish circumstances in terms of arrangements for consultation between central Government and local government. I do not think that I need to go into them in greater detail.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendment made:— No. 231, in page 30, leave out lines 41 to 47 and insert `a joint committee—

  1. (a) established under section 56 of the Act of 1973 or under paragraph 7 of Schedule 10 or paragraph 6 of Schedule 20 to that Act (local authority, education and social work joint committees); or
  2. (b) referred to in paragraphs (a), (b), or (e) of section 23(2) of this Act (fire, police and local government and teachers' superannuation joint committees).'. —[Lord James Douglas-Hamilton.]
