Amendments 52 and 53 will fix a minor omission from section 68. Amendment 52 will give local authorities that are lead authorities powers of entry for the purposes of preparing local flood risk management plans under section 29 and for the purposes of preparing reports under sections 32 and 33. Amendment 53 clarifies that those powers of entry will be available only to local authorities that are lead authorities under section 29(8).

I move amendment 52.

Amendment 52 agreed to.

Amendment 53 moved—[Roseanna Cunningham]—and agreed to.
