§ Lieut.-Colonel HEADLAMI beg to move, in page 62, line 2, to leave out from the word "words" to the end of line 46, and to insert instead thereof the words:
11. Metropolitan Traffic Area.—The London Passenger Transport Area as constituted by the London Passenger Transport Act, 193, with the addition of such parts of the London Traffic Area, as constituted by the London Traffic Act, 1924, and of the administrative county of Hertford, of the borough of Chopping Wycombe, in the county of Buckingham, of the boroughs of Dunstable and Luton, in the county of Bedford, of the urban district of Wrotham, in the county of Kent, of the urban district of East Grinstead, in the county of East Sussex, and of the urban district of Horsham, in the county of West Sussex, as lie outside the London Passenger Transport Area as so constituted.".This is an Amendment to provide that the area of the Metropolitan Traffic Commissioner shall include the whole of the London Passenger Transport Area. It is inconvenient that these small urban areas on the verge of the London Passenger Transport Area should be outside, and partly under the jurisdiction of one Commissioner and partly under that of another. The proposed area of the Metropolitan Traffic Commissioner, as the Clause now stands, is adjusted so as to include the whole of such urban areas as would otherwise be divided. The Amendment is designed to make these further adjustments from the point of view of administrative efficiency. It brings in, therefore, the whole of the County of Hertford. I hope that the Committee will accept it.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Further Amendment made: In page 63, line 2, leave out the word "passing," and insert instead thereof the words "commencement of this Part."—[Mr. Pybus.]
