§ Any enactment making such provision as might by virtue of any Act of Parliament have been made in relation to the area to which the order applies by means of a bye-law, order or regulation not requiring confirmation by Parliament;
§ THE EARL OF MUNSTER moved after "Any enactment," where those words first occur, to insert "contained in a local Act." The noble Earl said: This Amendment deals with the list of the Acts of Parliament which are excepted for the purposes of Clause 12 of the Bill which, of course, deals with development orders. As I understand the words in the Schedule, any enactment "seems to apply to any Act of Parliament, but I am told that "any enactment" applies only to a local Act. All I want to do is to get the matter clarified and to hear whether the words "any enactment" do, in. fact, refer to all Acts or only local Acts. I beg to move.

§ LORD HENDERSONThis Schedule excepts certain general Acts which were dealt with when the clause was taken. These Acts will now come under the negative procedure instead of the affirmative procedure. The inclusion of the noble Earl's Amendment is quite unnecessary, because the local Acts to which 31 he refers are also subject to negative procedure, and therefore nothing would be effected by putting in the Amendment.
§ THE EARL OF MUNSTERI am sure that is an admirable explanation, but I think my words would make it a little plainer. I beg leave to withdraw my Amendment.
§ Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
§ Second Schedule agreed to.
