§ On Question, Amendment agreed to.
§ LORD CHESHAMThis Amendment provides for the repeal of Section 22 of the British Transport; Commission Act, 1957, which applied the provisions of Sections 27 to 46 and Section 48 of the Harbour, Docks and Piers Clauses Act, 1847, to charges under any port charges scheme under Part V of the Transport Act, 1947. The Eleventh Schedule to the Bill provides for the repeal of Part V of the 1947 Act (page 141, lines 57–8, and page 143, lines 21–2), and paragraph 6 (2) of the Ninth Schedule provides for the application of the above sections of the 1847 Act to the port charges provisions of the Bill. Section 22 of the B.T.C. Act, 1957, should therefore also be repealed. If your Lordships did not quite follow that, I would say that this Amendment is a drafting Amendment, for tidiness, and I beg to move.
§ Amendment moved—

§ LORD STONHAMMy noble friend, Lord St. Davids, asked me to explain that he would not be here to move the next Amendment, No. 263, and to assure your Lordships that he will be back on Report stage like a lion refreshed. This also gives me the opportunity, on behalf of my noble friends and myself, of 809 thanking the noble Lords, Lord Mills, Lord Dundee and Lord Chesham, very much indeed for the helpful way they have received our arguments, and for the manner in which they have contributed to what I think we have all felt has been a very happy Committee stage.
§ LORD MILLSI thank the noble Lord, Lord Stonham, for what he has just said. We on this Front Bench have been most impressed by the very hard work that has been put in by noble Lords opposite and noble Lords behind me in their consideration of this Bill. It must amount to a great deal of work, and we appreciate the help and the manner in which this stage of the Bill has been conducted.
