HL Deb 27 October 1982 vol 435 c564

Schedule 2, page 22, line 32, leave out ("and 5C") and insert (', 5C and 5D").

The Lord Chancellor

My Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their said amendment. I should perhaps apologise for the shortness of the notice given of this amendment, which was made in another place only this afternoon.

The amendment is made necessary by the Assisted Areas (Amendment) Order 1982, which contains transitional provisions relating to grant under Part I of the Industry Act 1972, which is itself consolidated in Part II of the present Bill. The transitional provisions must therefore be made to apply to grant under the present Bill, and this is achieved by the amendment now under discussion. The amendment has been agreed by the noble and learned Lord, Lord Roskill, as the chairman of the Joint Committee on Consolidation. I therefore have every hope that your Lordships will agree. I beg to move.

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

On Question, Motion agreed to.
