12 Nov 2008 : Column 780

Schedule 12 [Application of Act to Scotland: modifications]:

Baroness Andrews moved Amendment No. 157:

157: Schedule 12, page 180, line 15, leave out “(e)” and insert “(f)”

On Question, amendment agreed to.

Clause 232 [Extent]:

Baroness Andrews moved Amendments Nos. 158 to 160A:

158: Clause 232, page 134, line 17, leave out “19” and insert “20”

159: Clause 232, page 134, line 19, leave out “137 to 144” and insert “131 and 137 to 146”

160: Clause 232, page 134, line 20, leave out “189” and insert “and 189;

(ea) in Part 10, sections”

160A: Clause 232, page 134, line 35, at end insert—

“(7) An order under section 217(2) shall extend to each Part of the United Kingdom.”

On Question, amendments agreed to.

Clause 233 [Commencement]:

Baroness Andrews moved Amendment No. 160B:

160B: Clause 233, page 134, line 39, leave out “8” and insert “9 (except section 189(2) to (5) and paragraph 7 of Schedule 7)”

The noble Baroness said: My Lords, Amendments Nos. 160B and 161B are minor and technical amendments to correct an anomaly in the commencement clause. Clause 233(1) provides that the provisions of Parts 1 to 8 which confer power to make secondary legislation shall come into force on Royal Assent. This avoids the need to make a separate order commencing these powers before commencing the substantive provisions.

The effect of these amendments is that the provisions in Part 9 which confer power to make secondary legislation, other than those for which specific provision is made elsewhere in Clause 233, will also come into force on Royal Assent. I beg to move.

On Question, amendment agreed to.

Baroness Andrews moved Amendments Nos. 161 to 163:

161: Clause 233, page 135, line 1, at end insert “, or making changes to orders granting,”

161A: Clause 233, page 135, line 6, after “200,” insert “203(6A),”

161B: Clause 233, page 135, line 10, at beginning insert “Except as provided by subsection (1)(a),”

162: Clause 233, page 135, line 23, leave out sub-paragraph (v)

163: Clause 233, page 135, line 27, after “(5),” insert “(Meaning of “local authority” in planning Acts),”

On Question, amendments agreed to.

House adjourned at 11.55 pm.
