HC Deb 25 April 1991 vol 189 c1290
Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

I beg to move amendment No. 15, in page 39, line 30, after 'circulating', insert `(i)'.

Madam Deputy Speaker

It will be convenient for the House to discuss at the same time Government amendments Nos. 16, 17 and 18.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

This series of amendments would add to the advertisement requirements for drought order applications the requirement for an advertisement in the area from which alternative supplies of water are proposed to be taken to meet deficiencies elsewhere. This is appropriate so that those who have an interest in the alternative sources may have an opportunity to raise any objections to the applications.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendments made: No. 16, in page 39, line 31, after `order', insert'; and (ii) within any locality from which, in the opinion of the applicant, an alternative supply is likely to be taken,'.

No. 17, in page 40, line 29, after 'place', insert '(i)'.

No. 18, in page 40, line 30, after 'order', insert '; and (ii) within the locality from which, in the opinion of the applicant, an alternative supply of water is likely to be taken,'. —[Lord James Douglas-Hamilton.]
