HL Deb 11 November 1976 vol 377 c797

[No.27.]

Clause 11, page 12, line 17, at end insert— (d) section 11 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976'.

Lord STRABOLGI

My Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 27. The effect of this Amendment is to make it clear that the provisions of Clause 11 do not affect the provisions of Section 11 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill. As noble Lords will be aware, this Bill, which contains provisions relating to the production of heat and electricity by local authorities, is expected to receive Royal Assent in the near future. It is therefore necessary that it now be added to the list contained in subsection (6), of Acts which are not affected by the provisions of Clause 11.

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