HC Deb 25 July 1990 vol 177 c605
The Solicitor-General

I beg to move amendment No. 29, in page 34. line 29, at end insert—

'(8A) Where the Board—

  1. (a) proposes to impose a condition under this section on an authorised practitioner; and
  2. (b) is satisfied that the circumstances of the case are exceptional and justify the condition taking effect immediately,
it may disregard subsections (5) to (8) when imposing the condition.'.

Madam Deputy Speaker

With this it will be convenient to consider Government amendment No. 30.

The Solicitor-General

This amendment enables the board, in a case of urgency, to impose a condition on authorisation immediately without having to wait for a period of 28 days to expire within which representations can be made under clause 36.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendments made: No. 151, in page 34, line 34, leave out 'this Part' and insert 'section 39'.

No. 30, in page 34, line 34, at end insert— '(11) An authorised practitioner who fails to comply with a condition imposed on him under this section shall not thereby cease to be such a practitioner; but in such a case the Board may—

  1. (a) impose additional, or substituted, conditions on him, or
  2. (b) revoke or suspend his authorisation in accordance with rules made under section 37(1).'.—[The Solicitor-General.]
