§ The signed map referred to in Part of the Fifth Schedule to this Act shall be for all purposes conclusive evidence of the extent of the London Passenger Transport Area and of the roads referred to in the said Schedule, and shall for the purposes of 280 the Documentary Evidence Acts, 1868 to 1895, be deemed to be a document issued by the Minister.—[The Attorney-General.]
§ Brought up, and read the First time.
§ The ATTORNEY-GENERALI beg to move, "That the Clause be read a Second time."
It is necessary to provide machinery for proving the extent of the London passenger transport area. We have taken as a model for setting up that machinery the provision to be found in the Land Drainage Act, 1930. The result of the new Clause will be that a copy of the signed map certified by the Minister, or by a representative of the Minister, or by the Secretary of the Ministry of Transport, will be prima facie evidence of the extent of the area.
§ Clause added to the Bill.
