The Earl of Avon

My Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 134. This is essentially a drafting amendment. It also deletes from the Bill an unnecessary provision concerning the transitional arrangements for surveys and reviews of definitive maps following the reorganisation of local government in 1973. I beg to move.

Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said amendment.—(The Earl of Avon.)

As an amendment to Amendment No. 134:

134A Subsection (3), line 4, leave out ("after ") and insert ("before").
