Clause 10 - Directions relating to particular
Fire and Rescue Services Bill
4:15 pm
Mr Philip Hammond (Runnymede and Weybridge, Conservative)
I beg to move amendment No. 58, in
clause 10, page 6, line 20, after 'direction', insert
'in circumstances specified in the direction'.
I do not intend to press the amendment to a vote. It was intended to be part of a group of amendments, the remainder of which have not been selected. That leaves amendment No. 58 somewhat stranded and isolated. The intention was to change in a fundamental way what clause 10 aims to do. I now understand that it would be more appropriate to move a new clause and to delete clause 10 on Report, rather than try to amend it in such a radical way. However, I should like the opportunity to explain in a clause stand part debate our concerns and the direction in which we will want to go when we propose a new clause on Report.
