Lords Amendment: In page 144, line 10, at the end, insert:
(10) Section sixteen of the Highways and Locomotives (Amendment) Act, 1878, shall have effect as if the words 'in pursuance of this Act' were omitted therefrom")
§
Line 16, leave out paragraph (a) and insert:
(a) from subsection (3) of section twenty-seven the words ('in which the place') shall be omitted and in that subsection, for the words ('the parish in which he is adjudged to be settled is situate') there shall be substituted the words ('to the county or county borough in which he is adjudged to be settled').
§ Sir K. WOODI beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."
This is a modification of the Highways and Locomotives (Amendment) Act, 1878, and is consequential on Part III of the Bill. Under Clause 28 of the Bill, county councils have, in respect of county roads, like powers to those which they have with respect to main roads. One of those powers is the power of dismaining a 2036 section of a road which has been mained in pursuance of the Act. The present limitation is inappropriate, since all classified roads will become county roads under the operation of the Bill, and it will be necessary for the dismaining powers to apply to them as well as to roads mained under the Act of 1878.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
§ Subsequent Lords Amendments, to page 146, line 36, agreed to.
§
Lords Amendment: In page 146, line 39, at the end, insert:
(b) section six, as applied by subsection (4) of section twenty-four of the Local Government Act, 1894, shall have effect as if the words 'or in the case of a guardian for a parish wholly or partly situate within a borough is qualified to be elected a councillor for that borough' were omitted therefrom.
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."
We come now to a series of Amendments all dealing with points of very minor importance. All of them are, perhaps, a little obscure, but I do not think I ought to trouble the House by giving a separate and independent account of each Amendment, unless there be any on which any hon. Member desires information. I shall, however, be ready to answer any questions should any points arise.
