HC Deb 13 December 1932 vol 273 cc278-9

Section ninety of the Act of 1930 shall have effect as if the following new subsection were inserted after Sub-section (10): (11) The power of making orders conferred upon local authorities by Subsection (1) of this section shall not be exercised within the London Traffic Area as defined by the London Traffic Act, 1924."—[Lieut.-Colonel Headlam.]

Brought up, and read the First time.

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT (Lieut.-Colonel Headlam)

I beg to move, "That the Clause be read a Second time."

7.45 p.m.

The Clause is merely for the purpose of re-introducing in a more appropriate place paragraph (b) of Subsection (7) of Clause 50 which was omitted during an earlier period in the Debate. Section 90 of the Road Traffic Act, 1930, gave powers to local authorities to fix stopping places for public service vehicles. In Section 99 of that Act those local authorities are excluded from making those orders in the police district of the Metropolis, and this Clause settles the point and extends the position as to the fixing of those stopping points under the Road Traffic Act to the London passenger transport area.

Sir KENYON VAUGHAN-MORGAN

May I ask in whose hands they are to be put?

Clause added to the Bill.
