HC Deb 13 December 1932 vol 273 c306
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL

I beg to move, in page 138, line 32, at the end, to insert the words: In Sub-section (2) the words ' Sections seventy-two and seventy-four of this Act in their application ' shall be substituted for the words ' and Section seventy-two of this Act in its application.' By this 'Amendment we are taking advantage of an opportunity to amend a flaw in the Road Traffic Act. At present no notice need be given by the Traffic Commissioners to a local authority when they grant a road service licence. After these words have been inserted it will not be necessary for the Traffic Commissioners to give the local authorities notice of the revocation of a road traffic licence.

Amendment agreed to.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL

I beg to move, in page 139, line 13, to leave out the words from "words," to the end of line 16, and to insert instead thereof the words: 'So much of the administrative county of Essex as lies outside the Metropolitan Police District,' there shall be substituted the words So much of the administrative county of Essex as lies outside the Metropolitan Traffic Area,' and the words So much of the administrative county of Hertford as lies outside the Metropolitan Police District ' shall be omitted. It is necessary to insert the words of this Amendment in consequence of Amendments which the Committee made in Clause 49 defining the area of the Metropolitan Traffic Commission.

Amendment agreed to.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL

I beg to move, in page 139, line 25, to leave out from the word "and" to the word "Wycombe," in line 26, and to insert instead thereof the words "the portion of the rural district of."

This Amendment is consequential upon the last Amendment.

Amendment agreed to.
