LORD ABERDARE

My Lords, this Amendment brings certain provisions of the Bill into operation at Royal Assent. Other provisions will come into force on days appointed by order. It is intended that the main appointed day should be April 1 1974, when the main provisions of the Local Government Act 1972 come into force. The Health Service Commissioner provisions will be brought into operation at an earlier date, which is still under consideration. I beg to move.

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

On Question, Motion agreed to.
