HC Deb 22 July 1930 vol 241 c2077
The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Mr. Herbert Morrison)

I beg to move, in page 76, line 27, to leave out the word "or."

Certain local authority associations have represented that local authorities ought to be in a position to institute prosecutions for offences under this part of the Measure and these Amendments give effect to this request.

Colonel ASHLEY

As we have a large number of Amendments on the Order Paper, may I suggest that the hon. Gentleman the Minister of Transport should, where he considers it to be necessary, give us reasons why various Amendments should be passed?

Mr. MORRISON

I am obliged to the right hon. and gallant Gentleman, and, if necessary, that will be done.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In page 76, line 27, after the word "police," insert the words: or the council of a county, county borough, or county district." — [Mr. Herbert Morrison.]
