HL Deb 25 June 1973 vol 343 c1791

[No. 96] Schedule 1, page 57, line 9, after "functions" insert "of the authority or any other body".

LORD ABERDARE

My Lords, this is a minor but useful extension to the regulation-making power available under paragraph 10(1) of Schedule 1. It will enable the Secretary of State, if necessary, to require authorities to employ staff with prescribed qualifications and experience, not merely for the functions of the authority itself but of any other body, notably the local authorities with which the health authorities are to collaborate. I beg to move.

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

On Question, Amendment agreed to.
