§ Moved, That the Bill be now read 3a—(Lord Aberdare.)
§ On Question, Bill read 3a.
§ Lord ABERDARE moved the following Amendments en bloc:
§ Clause 60, page 50, line 3, after ("60") insert ("(1)").
§
Page 50, line 15, at end insert—
("(2) This Part shall not apply to the city of Birmingham.").
§
Clause 70, page 57, line 5, at end insert—
("(3) This Part shall not apply to the city of Birmingham.").
§ The noble Lord said: My Lords, I hope that I may deal with these Amendments 313 very briefly, as they were the subject of a full debate in this House on 17th July last. The noble Baroness, Lady Young, moved a motion seeking to make these Amendments to the Bill on Third Reading. Their object is to restore to the Bill Amendments, which were refused by a Select Committee, to exclude the city of Birmingham from certain provisions in the Bill. We had a full debate and the House agreed to the Motion in the name of the noble Baroness without a Division, and I undertook to put down these Amendments on Third Reading. I think that I need do no more than to move them en bloc. I beg to move.
§ On Question, Amendments agreed to.
§ Lord ABERDAREMy Lords, I beg to move that the Bill do now pass.
§ Moved, That the Bill do now pass.—(Lord Aberdare.)
§ On Question, Bill passed, with the Amendments, and sent to the Commons.
