HC Deb 06 June 1932 vol 266 cc1743-4
Mr. SKELTON

I beg to move, in page 72, line 23, at the end, to insert the words: Local Government Act, 1929. Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1929. 11.30 p.m.

There is a series of Amendments to this Schedule, but they are all of a drafting character, and put into Scottish form an Amendment which the House has made during the Report stage. I do not think that I need deal with them separately unless I am invited to explain any particular proposal, and probably this general explanation will suffice at this moment.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made: In page 74, line 24, leave out the words "Sub-sections (3) and (4)" and insert instead thereof the words "Sub-section (4)."

In page 74, leave out lines 25 to 27.

In page 75, line 14, after the word "words," insert the word "county."

Leave out lines 27 to 34.

In page 76, line 46, at the end, insert the words "S. 35. Sub-section (3) shall be omitted."

In page 77, line 23, at the end, insert the words: S. 38. In the proviso to sub-section (1) for the words from 'any Government department' to the end of the sub-section there shall be substituted the words 'any other Government department is concerned with the functions of the undertakers, consult with that department and 6hall, if the undertakers whose consent is sought so desire, afford them an opportunity of appearing before and being heard by one or more persons appointed for the purpose by the Department and the other Government department concerned acting jointly.' S. 42. In sub-section (2) for the words 'by written notice served on the clerk of the court and the authority' there shall be substituted the words 'by giving notice of appeal,' and the words 'for the petty sessional division or place comprising the land on which the advertisement or hoarding is displayed or set up 'shall be omitted; and in sub—sections (3) and (4) for the word 'court,' wherever it occurs, there shall be substituted the word 'sheriff.'

In page 79, leave out lines 15 to 18, and insert instead thereof the words: The definitions of 'district' and 'road' shall be omitted.

In line 34, leave out the first word "and."

In line 36, at the end, insert the words: and in paragraph 18 for the words 'recovery thereof in a court of summary jurisdiction,' there shall be substituted the words 'recovery thereof by summary proceedings before the sheriff.'

In page 80, line 9, at the end, insert the words: In the proviso to paragraph 2 of Part II for the words 'any Government department,' to the end of the paragraph, there shall be substituted the words 'any other Government department is concerned with the functions of the undertakers, consult with that department and shall, if the undertakers so desire, afford them an opportunity of appearing before and being heard by one or more persons appointed for the purpose by the Department and the other Government department concerned acting jointly.' In paragraph 3 of Part II for the words 'section one hundred and twenty-eight of the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, 1845,' there shall be substituted the words 'section one hundred and twenty-one of the Lands Clauses Consolidation (Scotland) Act, 1845.'

In line 17, at the end, insert the words: and for the purposes of paragraph 2 of this Part of this Schedule the expression 'highway' shall not include a bridge to which the Bridges Act, 1929, applies, or the approaches to any such bridge, or the road carried by any such bridge and approaches.
