HC Deb 13 December 1932 vol 273 cc296-7

8.42 p.m.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL

I beg to move, in page 117, line 12, to leave out the words "East Surrey Traction Company," and to insert instead thereof the words: London General Country Services. All the Amendments which are on the Paper in connection with this Schedule are consequent upon the fact that various undertakings have changed their names or that businesses have been disposed of to other owners. Some of the Amendments are double Amendments due to the necessity for leaving out one name and inserting another in a different part of the Schedule. In moving this first Amendment, I ask the Committee, with that explanation, to accept the others as drafting Amendments.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made: In page 117, line 36, leave out the words "The Barking Urban District Council," and insert instead thereof the words: The Mayor, Aldermen and Burgesses of the Borough of Barking.

In page 118, leave out line 42.

In page 119, leave out line 1.

In page 119, line 7, at the end, insert the words Glen Omnibus Company (London), Limited."—[The Attorney-General.]

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL

I beg to move, in page 119, to leave out line 17.

Mr. C. WILLIAMS

This Amendment proposes to leave out the name of I. A. Maxton. I wish to know who is I. A. Maxton? I am sure that the Attorney-General must know. It is a name of some significance.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL

It is the name of a gentleman who has sold his undertaking to the London General Omnibus Company.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Can I have an assurance that this has nothing to do with any particular interest represented in the House of Commons?

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made: In page 119, line 40, at the end, insert the words: Charles Russett and Son, of 20, St. Peter's Street, St. Albans, Herts.

In page 119, line 43, at the end, insert the words: F. Steer, of Colne Cottage, London colney, St. Albans, Herts.

In page 120, leave out lines 1 and 2.

In line 9, leave out the word "Omnibus."—[The Attorney-General.]

Schedule, as amended, agreed to.
