Clause 6 - Existing impounding works: works notices
Water Bill [Lords]
11:15 am
Mr Bill Wiggin (Leominster, Conservative)
I know that we do not have a great deal of time left. I am again probing the Government. I ask them to leave out subsection (2) because, again, it does not seem to make a great difference to existing legislation. One of the difficulties with the Bill is that a lot of it amends existing legislation, and a lot of it is about fine detail. That makes it quite a difficult Bill for people to follow. When I was going through it, I tried as best I could to see why the Government were amending legislation, because in some cases the
amendments were very small. The purpose of amendment No. 7 is to find that out, although it is coupled with amendment No. 8.
I shall pause here, because others may wish to speak, and because I am not absolutely sure which part of the clause I want explained. [Laughter.] I will keep going.
