§
Page 6, line 28, at end insert:
("As soon as a map of a catchment area has been prepared the Minister shall cause to be published, in one or more newspapers circulating in the area, a notice stating that the map has been prepared and specifying the place at which a copy of the map may be inspected and the time (not being less than one month) within which and the manner in which objections thereto may be made.
§ (2) On the expiration of the time within which objections may be made as aforesaid, the Minister shall, if no objections have been made, forthwith approve the map as prepared and, if any objections have been made, shall take those objections into consideration and after so doing proceed to approve the map, either as prepared or with such variations as he thinks proper.")
§ EARL DE LA WARRMy Lords, this Amendment is designed to enable criticism to be directed, where necessary, at the extent of the main river as marked on the map. I think it is reasonable that those in the district who are interested should have an opportunity of indicating to the Minister that the main river as marked on the map is either too much or too little. That is the purpose of the Amendment which we accepted in another place, and I beg to move that your Lordships agree to it.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(Earl De La Warr.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
