HC Deb 14 February 1929 vol 225 cc649-50
Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I beg to move, in page 139, line 15, at the end, to insert the words: 2. References in any enactment to Subsection (2) of Section 11 of the Local Government Act, 1888, shall be construed as references to the provisions of this Act relating to the rights of certain urban district councils to maintain county roads. 3. Where by any enactment any forms are prescribed, the Minister may by order make such adaptations thereof as may appear to him to be necessary for the purpose of bringing the forms into conformity with this Act. 4. The Minister may by order made on the application of any council exercising functions under this Act make such amendments or adaptations of any local Act as may appear to him to be necessary for the purpose of bringing any provision of that Act into conformity with the provisions of this Act. This Amendment is moved in order to give clarity in the interpretation of the various Acts. It provides that references to any enactment in Sub-section (2) of Section 11 of the Local Government Act, 1888, shall be construed as references to the provisions of this Act. There is also a provision to retain the powers relating to the repairing of main roads. Paragraphs 3 and 4 of this Amendment are merely drafting Amendments.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made:

In page 143, line 16, after the word "school," insert the words "or asylum."

In page 143, to leave out lines 22 to 30.—[Mr. Chamberlain.]
