I move amendment No. 18:

In page 10, between lines 39 and 40, to insert the following: “(2) (a) Subject to section 28, all rights and liabilities of the county council subsisting immediately before the expiration of the period referred to in subsection (1) of section 10 and arising by virtue of any contract or commitment (expressed or implied) shall, on the day referred to in subsection (2) of that section, stand transferred to the city council in so far only as they relate to land vested in the city council under the said subsection (2).

(b) Every right and liability transferred by paragraph (a) to the city council may, on and after the day referred to in subsection (2) of section 10, be sued on, recovered or enforced by or against the city council in its own name, and it shall not be necessary for the city council, or the county council, to give notice to the person whose right or liability is transferred by that paragraph of such transfer.

(c) Every lease, licence, wayleave or permission granted by the county council in relation to land vested in the city council under subsection (2) of section 10 and in force immediately before the expiration of the period referred to in subsection (1) of that section, shall continue in force as if granted by the city council.”.
