§ Page 35, line 6, leave out from ("shall") to end of line 8 and insert ("apply to a public inquiry caused by the Minister to be held in Scotland under any provision of this Act (except section thirty-one thereof) as they apply to a public inquiry held under the said section three hundred and fifty-five, subject to the following modification, namely, that subsection (8) shall have effect as if references therein to the payment of expenses by a local authority not being a party to the inquiry had been omitted and subsections (8) and (9) of the said section three hundred and fifty-five shall, with (in the case of subsection (8)) the like modification, apply in relation to any hearing caused by the Minister to take place in Scotland in pursuance of any provision of this Act (otherwise than by way of public inquiry or under the said section thirty-one) as if the hearing were a public inquiry caused by the Minister to be held as aforesaid.")
§ LORD CHESHAMMy Lords, this Amendment does two things. It makes partly consequential amendments arising from Amendment No. 12 again, and secondly it introduces a small and rather technical modification to the application of Section 355 of the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1947, to inquiries held under the Bill in order to bring the Scottish application into line with that in England and Wales. I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(Lord Chesham)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
