Part 5 has effect as if after section 133D there were inserted—

“133E
Direction to disregard emergency control assessment requirement

(1)
This section applies where a person has been required—

(a)
under section 125(2C) or 129(1B), or

(b)
as mentioned in section 125(5)(a)(ii) or 129(5ZA),


to submit himself for an emergency control assessment.

(2)
At any time before the assessment takes place the Registrar may

withdraw the requirement (in which case this Part applies as if the

requirement had never been imposed).

(3)
At any time after the assessment takes place the Registrar may direct

that the requirement is to be disregarded for the purposes of this Part

(and accordingly any condition that the person holds an emergency

certificate is to cease to apply).

(4)
Notice of—

(a)
the withdrawal of a requirement under subsection (2), or

(b)
a direction under subsection (3),


must be given to the person on whom the requirement was imposed.”’.

Member’s explanatory statement

This amendment extends what was new section 128ZZA so that the Registrar’s powers under the

section cover emergency control assessments in connection with licences. The new section is

inserted after section 133D to reflect its revised content. The amendment which inserted new

section 128ZZA is removed by amendment 40.

Schedule  12,  page  136,  line  29,  after ‘subsection (1)’ insert ‘(like the power in

subsection (1) of section one of this Act)’.

Member’s explanatory statement

The amendment equates the Bill’s existing amendment to the Destructive Imported Animals Act

animals under section 10(1) includes power of revocation and amendment) to the power to make

similar orders for musk rats under section 1(1).

number 2823181)’.

Member’s explanatory statement

Following a DEFRA consultation (undertaken with the Scottish and Welsh Governments), this

amendment makes Lantra (the UK’s Sector Skills Council for land-based and environmental

industries), rather than the Secretary of State, the successor to the Council for Small Industries in

Member’s explanatory statement

This amendment repeals section 85 of the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009

the arts and Academy schools) adopt home-school agreements to cease to apply in England. The

amendment substitutes a new paragraph 2 which provides for the requirement to cease to apply in

‘Mining Industry Act 1920 (c. 50)

3A
The Mining Industry Act 1920 is repealed.

Member’s explanatory statement

This amendment repeals administrative arrangements in the Mining Industry Act 1920 which are

no longer needed in relation to the mining industries today, and an unnecessary provision

permitting profit-sharing by coal mining companies in the Mining Industry Act 1926. The repeals

do not affect mining rights.

HOUSING

Housing Act 1988 (c. 50)

36  (1)
Paragraph 3 of Schedule 18 to the Housing Act 1988 (saving provision in

respect of repeal of sections 56 to 58 of the Housing Act 1980) ceases to have

effect in relation to tenancies of dwelling-houses in England.

      (2)
Accordingly, in that paragraph of that Schedule, after “tenancy” insert “of a

dwelling-house in Wales”.’.

Member’s explanatory statement

This amendment provides that the saving provision in paragraph 3 of Schedule 18 to the Housing

Act 1988 ceases to have effect in relation to tenancies of dwelling-houses in England (and so will

continue only for Wales). This is because no assured tenancies under section 56 of the Housing Act

1980 remain in existence for England.
