amendment of the scheme or for the substitution of a new scheme, and on any such petition the Court may amend the scheme or may frame a new scheme, and for such purposes the Court shall have the like powers as are conferred by this Act on the Commissioners regarding schemes for the future government and management of endowments:
(f) When a petition with regard to any scheme has been presented to the Court of Session under the foregoing paragraph, the provisions of this Act with regard to laying schemes before Parliament shall not appply to any such scheme:
(g) Where the Court of Session have, in pursuance of the foregoing powers, amended a scheme or framed a new scheme, the scheme as so amended or the new scheme as so framed shall have the like effect as a scheme approved by His Majesty in Council.")
§ THE EARL OF PLYMOUTHMy Lords, Clause 41 (1) of the Bill provides that after the expiry of the powers of the Commissioners the Department shall exercise these powers with certain modifications. The Amendment provides that, when a governing body is dissatisfied with a scheme confirmed by the Department, they may present a petition to the Court of Session for amendment of the scheme or for the substitution of a new scheme. The change has been made to meet difficulties raised by representatives of the Endowments Governors. It is understood to have the approval of all concerned. I beg to move.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(The Earl of Plymouth.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
