§ Lord Brabazon of TaraMy Lords, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 49 and 50 en bloc. I shall speak also to Amendments Nos. 113 and 114. These further amendments to Clause 54 improve the procedure for giving notice of restrictions to be imposed on street works following substantial road works. Amendment No. 49 adds to the list of people entitled to receive such advance notice any person who has served notice under Clause 50 of his proposed street works in the relevant part of the highway. This should be of help in particular to cable television operators and others who do not already have apparatus in the highway but whose plans may be affected by the restriction. Amendment No. 50 removes some unnecessary words from subsection (4). Amendments Nos. 113 and 114 do the same for Scotland.
§ Moved, That the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 49 and 50 en bloc.—(Lord Brabazon of Tara.)
§ Lord Brougham and VauxMy Lords, these amendments concern a matter that I raised at Second Reading. I am most grateful to my noble friend.
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
