§ Amendment made: In page 77, line 15, leave out the word "sixty," and insert instead thereof the word "sixty-two."—[Mr. Herbert Morrison.]
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONI beg to move, in page 77, line 17, at the end, to insert the words:
and Section seventy-one of this Act in its application to the metropolitan traffic area shall have effect as if the references to a local authority were omitted therefrom.This Amendment is related to the question of the Metropolitan traffic area where the Traffic Commissioner will only be responsible for the issue of road service licences in connection with express carriages, that is to say, motor coach services. The provisions under Section 71 with respect to representation being made by a local authority are therefore inapplicable in the London area. Subsection (6) of Clause 98 that provides the power of making orders as to highways to be used by public service vehicles, and the fixing of parking places and stands is to be exercised 2079 by the Metropolitan Police in their area, but consultation will, where necessary, take place between the Traffic Commissioner and the London and Home Traffic Advisory Committee, which is representative of the local authorities in the London traffic area.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Further Amendments made: In page 77, line 22, leave out the word "sixty," and insert instead thereof the word "sixty-two."
§
In line 29, after the word "aforesaid," insert the words:
or gives to the commissioners of any traffic area any directions relating specifically to the London Traffic Area constituted under the London Traffic Act, 1924.
§ In line 32, leave out the words "London Traffic Act, 1924," and insert instead thereof the words "said Act."—[Mr. Herbert Morrison.]
