HC Deb 29 June 1920 vol 131 cc348-9

(4) A representative of the undertakers may be present on any occasion on which the gas examiner inspects, or alters, adjusts or replaces the testing apparatus or tests the gas, but shall not interfere with the inspection alteration, adjustment or replacement, or test.

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I beg to move, at the end of Sub-section (4), to insert the words For the purposes of this Sub-section the gas examiner shall, in cases where the testing place is situated elsewhere than on the works of the undertakers, give to the undertakers reasonable notice of the time at which he will attend at the testing place. This is merely for testing the machine to see whether it is right. Though I do not think it is necessary to give notice where the testing place is in the works, but it does seem to me only right, as the undertakers have the right to be present, that they should have notice when the testing place is situated elsewhere than in the works.

Amendment agreed to.
