2 Clause 12, page 11, line 38, leave out paragraph (g) and insert—
(g) a fire and rescue authority in Wales constituted by a scheme under section 2 of the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004 or a scheme to which section 4 of that Act applies;
§ Lord Evans of Temple GuitingMy Lords, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 2. It would be appropriate to take Commons Amendments Nos. 2, 4 and 9 together.
The amendments relating to Clauses 12 and 46 and Schedule 1 take account of the provisions of the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004, as they affect the Public Audit (Wales) Bill. The Fire and Rescue Services Act replaces fire authorities with fire and rescue authorities. The amendments will change the three relevant references in the Bill, at Clauses 12 and 46 and Schedule 1. The Fire and Rescue Services Act received Royal Assent on 22 July.
Moved, That the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 2.—(Lord Evans of Temple Guiting.)
§ 7.30 p.m.
§ Lord Roberts of ConwyMy Lords, as the noble Lord said, these amendments are consequential on the enactment of the Fire and Rescue Services Act. They 634 are wholly appropriate. They bring such authorities as may be formed within the scope of the Bill, which is right and proper. Therefore, we support them.
§ Lord Thomas of GresfordMy Lords, I agree and have nothing to add.
On Question, Motion agreed to.
