HL Deb 25 June 1973 vol 343 c1793

[No. 102.]

Schedule 1, page 58, line 16, leave out ";and (d) the payment by an authority of" and insert— 12A. An authority may pay".

LORD ABERDARE

My Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 102. This Amendment substitutes for the regulation-making provision of paragraph 12(d) of Schedule 1 an express provision enabling authorities to paysubscriptions of amounts approved by the Secretary of State to bodies approved by him. The power of authorities to pay subscriptions to approved bodies is fully accepted in principle, and it is not thought necessary to have a regulation for this purpose.

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

On Question, Motion agreed to.
