(4) Where a scheme to which this Section applies has been carried out, whether before or after the passing of this Act, by the London County Council within the area of a metropolitan borough, the council of the metropolitan borough shall be under the like liability as to the maintenance of roads as if the metropolitan borough had been a borough outside London.

Lords Amendment:

In Sub-section (4), leave out the words the council of the metropolitan borough shall be under the like liability as to the maintenance of roads as if the metropolitan borough had been a borough outside London, and insert the liability to maintain the roads shall vest in the council of that metropolitan borough unless that council, or on appeal the Minister is satisfied that the roads have not been properly constructed in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by the Minister.

Agreed to.
