HC Deb 04 May 1999 vol 330 cc835-6
Mr. Raynsford

I beg to move amendment No. 103, in page 156, line 22, after 'legislation' insert '(including subordinate legislation made under or by virtue of this Act)'.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this, it will be convenient to discuss the following: Government amendments Nos. 104 to 107 and 114.

Mr. Raynsford

These are purely technical amendments. Amendments Nos. 103 to 107 would enable an order to be made to amend the provisions of the Bill—for example, to allow the Secretary of State temporarily to assume the powers and duties that, under the Bill, are ultimately to be exercised by the GLA. Amendment No. 114 makes clear the powers in the Bill enabling amendments to enactments to be made by subordinate legislation to be used to amend legislation in relation to part III, relating to local government finance and related similar provisions, and to criminal offences.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendments made: No. 104, in page 156, line 24, leave out subsection (2).

No. 105, in page 156, line 36, leave out 'enactment, any instrument made under any enactment' and insert

'such enactment, or any instrument made under any such enactment, as is mentioned in subsection (I) above'.

No. 106, in page 156, line 37, at end insert— '(4) The amendment by this Act of any provision is without prejudice to the exercise in relation to that provision of the powers conferred by this section.'.

No. 107, in page 156, line 37, at end insert— '(5) For the purposes of this section "the relevant day" means the earliest day on which—

  1. (a) the Authority and the functional bodies are all in being, and
  2. (b) London Regional Transport and the Receiver for the Metropolitan Police District have ceased to exist,

and any reference to an Act passed before that day includes a reference to this Act.'.—[Mr. Dowd.]
