A certifying officer appointed under section sixty-nine of the Road Traffic Act, 1930, shall have the like powers and dirties under sections fifteen and sixteen of this Act with respect to goods vehicles as an examiner has, and accordingly in those sections (except in sub-section (7) and (9) of the said section fifteen) any reference to an examiner shall be construed as including a reference to such a certifying officer.—[Mr. Stanley.]

Brought up, and read the First time.

3.34 p.m.

The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Mr. Oliver Stanley)

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

Under this Bill and under the Road Traffic Act of 1930 there will be examiners and certifying officers, to whom appeals will be made from the examiners. The certifying officers will be those appointed under the Road Traffic Act of 1930. Under that Act they have all the powers of an examiner and the sole object of this new Clause is to give these officials the right to act as examiners under this Bill as well.

Question put, and agreed to.

Clause added to the Bill.
