HC Deb 21 March 1951 vol 485 c298W
111. Sir.J. Mellor

asked the Minister of Labour if he will identify the powers enabling other than those specified, to which reference is made in Statutory Instrument, 1951, No. 244; and why these are not specified in the instrument.

Mr. Bevan

The only specific statutory powers under which this Order is made are those conferred by Section 10 of the Wages Councils Act, 1945, and referred to in the Order. The reference to other powers, as already explained in the answer to a similar question on Friday, 9th March, is a formula which is customarily used to comprehend any ancillary powers. It is by way of a legal precautionary device.

112 and 113. Sir J. Mellor

asked the Minister of Local Government and Planning (1) if he will identify the powers, other than those specified, to which reference is made in Statutory Instrument, 1951, No. 209; and why these are not identified in the instrument;

(2) if he will identify the powers enabling, other than those specified, to which reference is made in Statutory Instrument, 1951, No. 231; and why these are not identified in the instrument.

Mr. Lindgren

I would refer the hon. Member to my answer to his question on Monday, 12th March.
