§ PART I.
§ Provisions to be Complied with in Connection with the Making of Livestock Markets Orders.
§ 2. Before making any livestock markets order, the appropriate Minister shall consider any objections to the draft order which have been duly made to him, and may, after holding such inquiries (if any) as he thinks fit, make such modifications in the draft order as he may, after consultation with the Commission consider desirable:
§ Provided that—
§ (a) where an objection to the draft order has been duly made by any person appearing to the appropriate Minister to be affected 611 thereby, and has not been withdrawn, the said Minister, unless he considers the objection to be frivolous or irrelevant or unless the objection has been met, shall, before taking any further action with respect to the draft order, direct the holding of an inquiry with respect to the objection and consider the report of the person holding the. inquiry: and
§ LORD O'HAGAN moved, in paragraph 2, proviso (a), after the first "inquiry," to insert "in the area to which the draft order applies." The noble Lord said: I hope the Government will accept this, because I think it, in effect, carries out the intentions of His Majesty's Government. That has been made quite clear in another place, and it does seem that some such words are necessary.
§
Amendment moved—
Page 52, line 31, after ("inquiry") insert ("in the area to which the draft order applies").—(Lord O' Hagan.)
§ EARL DE LA WARRI am afraid the acceptance of this Amendment would cause considerable difficulty, and I hope the noble Lord will not press it.
§ Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
§ Third Schedule agreed to.
