§ 189 Schedule 1, page 73, line 6, after 'may', insert `, with the consent of the Secretary of State,'.
§ Lord Fraser of CarmyllieMy Lords, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 189. I should like to speak also to Amendments Nos. 191 and 193. These amendments introduce a requirement on the board to obtain the Secretary of State's approval to the financial arrangements such as remuneration and pensions which it sets for its members and employees. This will ensure that on these matters there is some control over the board's spending. It is in the public interest that there should be such control.
Moved, That the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 189.—(Lord Fraser of Carmyllie.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
