HL Deb 19 July 1988 vol 499 c1213

36 Schedule 1, page 36, line 26, leave out from 'to' to 'as' in line 28 and insert 'the members of any committee such fees and allowances'.

The Lord Chancellor

My Lords, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 36. Schedule 1(13) as originally drafted permitted payment of allowances to committee members but not fees. Area committee members are paid fees for their attendance and we would wish this practice to continue. The amendment also deletes reference to the board itself in paragraph 13 since the remuneration and allowancs of the board are already dealt with in paragraph 8. I commend Amendment No. 36 to your Lordships.

Moved, that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 36.—(The Lord Chancellor.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
