HL Deb 25 June 1973 vol 343 c1791

[No. 95] Schedule 1, page 57, line 4, after first "regulations," insert "and such directions as may be given by the Secretary of State".

LORD ABERDARE

My Lords, this Amendment, which implies no change in policy, fills a gap in paragraph 10 of Schedule 1. Its effect is to bring the powers of direction of the Secretary of State in relation to the appointment of staff into line with those provided under Section 12 of the 1946 Act. I beg to move.

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

On Question, Amendment agreed to.
