Clause 75 - Short title
Public Audit (Wales) Bill [Lords]
Public Bill Committees, 29 June 2004, 3:45 pm
Mr Don Touhig (Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Wales), Department for Constitutional Affairs; Islwyn, Labour/Co-operative)
I beg to move amendment No. 53, in page 42, line 18, leave out subsection (2).
This is the amendment always required when a Bill starts its passage in another place. It removes the privilege amendment, which is routinely inserted in another place to avoid encroachment on the privilege of those in this House to control charges on public funds. A money resolution was passed immediately after Second Reading in this House on 17 June. Thus the Commons have exercised their privilege and the subsection is no longer needed.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 75, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
