HC Deb 06 December 1932 vol 272 c1583
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL

I beg to move, in page 107, line 6, at the end, to add the words: (3) If any question arises under the last preceding sub-section as to whether the consent of the council has been unreasonably withheld that question shall be determined by the Minister. This is an Amendment intended to give effect to the decision of the Select. Committee that machinery should be provided for dealing with any deadlock likely to arise as to whether the consent of the Council had been unreasonably withheld. The Clause relates to the question of road works, and it seems that the Minister of Transport would be the appropriate person to determine such a dispute.

Amendment agreed to.
