HC Deb 05 December 1932 vol 272 cc1396-8
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL

I beg to move, in page 24, line 26, to leave out the words "any passenger," and to insert instead thereof the words: within the special area any passengers. 11.50 p.m.

This and succeeding Amendments to this Clause are purely drafting Amendments, some of them consequential and others mere alteration of words to make the meaning a little more explicit. If the Committee will accept that from me, perhaps we can take them all without discussion.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made: In page 24, line 27, leave out from the second word "carriage," to the word "other," in line 31.

In line 35, leave out the words "the special area," and insert instead thereof the words that area, or entering the vehicle outside the special area for the purpose of being set down outside that area.

In line 39, after the word "convenient," insert the word "terminal."

In line 41, after the word "any," insert the words "portion of a."

In page 25, line 16, leave out the word "these," and insert instead thereof the word "those."—[The Attorney-General.]

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL

I beg to move, in page 23, line 20, after the word "urea," to insert the words: or to the carriage from a terminal point within the special area of passengers who have transferred at the terminal point from another vehicle forming part of a service of express carriages proceeding to the terminal point from a place outside the special area. This is really a drafting Amendment, but, as it looks a little more substantial, I want the Committee to know what we are doing. This is to provide for a feeder service at the end of the return journey, and to allow a service to be connected up for the passenger at the end of his journey as well as on the outgoing journey already provided for in the Bill.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made: In page 25, line 23, after the word "to," insert the words "or from."

In line 26, to leave out the words "or operated under a hiring agreement or hire-purchase agreement," and to insert instead thereof the words "and operated."

In line 31, after the word "to," insert the words "or from."

In line 32, at the end, insert the words: and for the purposes of this condition a vehicle shall he deemed to be owned by the person providing the service if, being the subject of a hiring agreement or hire-purchase agreement, it is in the possession of that person under that agreement.

In line 43, leave out the word "thirty-two," and insert instead thereof the word "thirty-three."

In page 26, line 26, after the word "application," insert the words: or from the date on which the Board is to be deemed to have refused his application.

In line 39, leave out the words "pecuniary loss," and insert instead thereof the word "damage."

In page 27, line 1, leave out the words "forming part of," and insert instead thereof the words "while running on."

In line 4, leave out the words "those vehicles," and insert instead thereof the words "vehicles while so running."

In line 23, leave out the words "pecuniary loss," and insert instead thereof the word "damage."

In line 27, lease out the word "thirty-two," and insert instead thereof the word "thirty-three."—[The Attorney General.]
