HL Deb 25 June 1973 vol 343 c1764

[No. 16] Clause 7, page 7, line 44, after "not" insert "except in prescribed cases".

LORD ABERDARE

My Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 16. This Amendment enables the Secretary of State by regulation to limit the extent to which an authority which has delegated functions can itself exercise those functions. It thus gives some useful additional flexibility.

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

On Question, Motion agreed to.
