§ Fifth Schedule, page 276, leave out lines 27 and 28.
§ LORD MORRISONMy Lords, the effect of the words proposed to be omitted 858 is to reproduce the provision of the Fire Brigades Act of 1938 under which fire services expenditure in burghs was charged to occupiers. The Fire Services Bill provides that fire service expenditure shall in future be shared equally by owners and occupiers and the Amendment brings the Local Government Bill into line. I beg to move.
§ Moved, That the House doth agree with the. Commons in the said Amendment.—(Lord Morrison.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
