[No. 19]
Clause 8, page 10, line 3, leave out subsections (8) and (9).
§ LORD ABERDAREMy Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 19. This Amendment deletes from Clause 8 two subsections which would have enabled committees recognised under Clause 8(6) or their sub-committees also to be recognised as local representative committees under Section 32 of the National Health Service Act 1946. It was intended that this should be done only if requested by the local professional bodies, but the representatives of all the professions have said that they would wish their Section 32 committees to be separately financed and independent. It was therefore agreed with the professions that the provisions should be deleted.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(Lord Aberdare.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
