HC Deb 19 July 1933 vol 280 c1918
Lieut.-Colonel HEADLAM

I beg to move, in page 7, line 23, to leave out the words "the case of an application," and to insert instead thereof the words "particular, an applicant."

This is another drafting Amendment. The Clause, owing to the Amendments made in Committee, is rather clumsy and this Amendment, as well as the succeeding Amendments, makes it clear.

Amendment agreed to.

Lieut.-Colonel HEADLAM

I beg to move, in page 8, line 9, to leave out paragraph (d).

In Committee the Minister of Transport said that he would consider whether the information asked for in this paragraph was really necessary and whether it was not rather inquisitive on the part of a licensing authority. We have considered the matter carefully and have come to the conclusion that the Clause does carry the inquisition rather too far.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made: In page 8, line 28, after the word "authority," insert the word "either."

In line 29, leave out the words "either the head office or."

In line 30, at the end, insert the words "or for the area in which his head office is situated."—[Mr. Stanley.]
