HL Deb 25 June 1973 vol 343 c1769

[No. 28] Clause 11, page 14, line 16, after "authorities" insert ",and to such bodies or class of bodies as aforesaid,".

LORD ABERDARE

My Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 28. This Amendment enables the Secretary of State to provide the services of staff as well as goods or materials to public bodies as well as to local authorities. It is needed to give the power to health authorities to lend medical staff to the new water authorities which are proposed under the Water Bill, with which the noble Baroness, Lady White, is so familiar.

Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(Lord Aberdare.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
