HL Deb 03 July 1981 vol 422 c440

51 Schedule 1, page 46, line 37, leave out from ("section") to end of line 38 and insert ("32 of the Magistrates' Court Act 1980 (£1,000 or another sum fixed by order under section 143 of that Act to take account of changes in the value of money".).

Lord Bellwin

My Lords, this amendment fixes a maximum penalty for offences under this Act of £1,000 or other sum fixed by order to take account of changes in the value of money. The recent Magistrates' Court Act 1980 necessitates this technical amendment. I beg to move that this House do agree with the Commons in the said amendment.

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

On Question, Motion agreed to.
