Clause 52 - Enforcement of certain provisions
Water Bill [Lords]
11:00 am
Mr Bill Wiggin (Leominster, Conservative)
I beg to move amendment No. 87, in
clause 52, page 66, line 40, leave out subsection (3).
Bearing in mind the Minister's comments about a Bill the size of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, I have to say that the Government did their best with this 232-page special. However, having gone through it with a fine-tooth comb—as we all did, of course—I could not help but be curious about why the Government should want to reduce ''twenty-eight''
to ''twenty-one''. The purpose of this probing amendment is to find out why they chose to do that.
