  (2) A proposal shall be deemed to have been endorsed if it is supported by a simple majority of voters where at least 50 per cent. of the electorate have voted.'.-- [Sir  Paul Beresford.] 
   Brought up, and read the First time. 
  
  <p>
   I beg to move, That the clause be read a Second time.
   
  
  <p> 
      Madam Speaker:   
   With this, it will be convenient to discuss the following amendments: No. 98, in clause 28, page 15, line 37, after 'regulation', insert 'and limitation (capping)'.
  <p>
  A well-behaved authority that tries to do well underthe regulations will not get any benefit. From the Government's point of view, it is a win-win situation. An authority cannot prise more money out of the Government by doing better than expected under the regulations.
   
  
  <p>Question put,  That the clause be read a Second time:--
  <p>The House divided:  Ayes 170, Noes 335.
