HC Deb 13 December 1932 vol 273 cc270-1

All by-laws, rules, regulations, fares, rates, and charges made or enforceable by any undertakers whose undertaking or part of whose undertaking is transferred to the board by this Act, being by-laws, rules, regulations? fares, rates, or charges in force immediately before the appointed day, shall, so far as they are consistent with the provisions of this Act, continue in force with respect to the undertaking or part of the undertaking to which they relate until repealed, altered, or superseded.—[Mr. Pybus.]

Brought up, and read the First time.

The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Mr. Pybus)

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

7.35 p.m.

This is a purely formal Clause to ensure that the existing by-laws applicable to the undertaking may continue in force and that the board shall not suffer by reason of the change of ownership.

Clause added to the Bill.
