Public Bill Committees, 2 March 2004, 4:00 pm
Mr Phil Hope (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Office of the Deputy Prime Minister; Corby, Labour/Co-operative)
I beg to move amendment No. 176, in
schedule 2, page 47, line 19, at end insert—
(General Powers) Act 1949 (c lv) 'London County Council Section 51.'.
The amendment will repeal section 51 of the London County Council (General Powers) Act 1949. That provision gave London county council powers to permit employees of the London fire brigade to be employed permanently or temporarily at a training institution, as may be desired by the Secretary of State. It also dealt with superannuation issues consequential on such an employment. We have confirmed with lawyers that for the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority that this provision was never extended to the London Fire and Civil Defence Authority following abolition of the Greater London council. This provision is, therefore, spent, and may be repealed.
Amendment agreed to.
