§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONI beg to move, in page 52, line 37, at the end, to insert the words:
Provided that a vehicle used on a special occasion for the conveyance of a private party shall not be deemed to be a vehicle carrying passengers for hire or reward at separate fares by reason only that the members of the party have made separate payments which cover their conveyance by that vehicle on that occasion.776 I should explain that Sub-section (3) aims at preventing the improper use of contract carriages. It is not designed to prevent their use for private parties, but to deal with the case of bogus clubs where it is open to anyone for the trifling sum of 1s. to secure membership of such a club, carrying with it the privilege of taking tickets by a motor coach.
§ Amendment agreed to.
