§ THE CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEES (THE EARL OF LISTOWEL)My Lords, I beg to move that this Bill be now read a third time.
§ Moved, That the Bill be now read 3a.—(The Earl of Listowel.)
§ On Question, Bill read 3a, with the Amendments.
§ THE EARL OF LISTOWELMy Lords, I beg to move the first Amendment on the short list of Amendments. As this Amendment is consequential on the following Amendment I should like, with the leave of the House, to explain what the second Amendment sets out to do. Certain provisions conferring protection on statutory undertakings were, by inadvertence, deleted during the Committee stage of the Bill. The purpose of the second Amendment, which of course has been agreed by the Promoters, is to restore these protective provisions to the Bill, and therefore to give the statutory undertakers the safeguards they require. I beg to move the first Amendment, at page 5, line 18 of the Bill.
