§ Clause 2 [Interpretation]:
§
The Chairman of Committees (Lord Mackay of Ardbrecknish) moved Amendment No. 1:
Page 3, line 22, leave out ("(51(46.12'N, 01(02.07'E)") and insert ("(51(46/'N,01(02/'E)").
§ The noble Lord said: My Lords, in moving Amendment No. 1, I shall speak also to Amendment No. 2. Both amendments have been proposed by the promoters and are available in the Printed Paper Office in the usual way.
§ The first amendment is needed to correct an inaccuracy in one of the sets of co-ordinates describing the seaward limits of the harbour and to achieve consistency in the expression of each of the co-ordinates to the first decimal place.
§ The second amendment clarifies the terms of agreement arrived at between the council and one of the petitioners. It was agreed that the council should keep the power to maintain the footways as well as the riverbanks and the word "footways" was accidentally omitted from the amended Bill. This amendment corrects that omission. I beg to move.
§ On Question, amendment agreed to.
§ Schedule 2 [Enactments repealed]:
§
The Chairman of Committees moved Amendment No. 2:
Page 14, line 5 in column 2, after ("any") insert ("footways and any").
§ On Question, amendment agreed to.
§ On Question, Bill passed, and sent to the Commons.
