HC Deb 20 July 1933 vol 280 c2019

4.23 p.m.

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of TRANSPORT (Lieut.-Colonel Headlam)

I beg to move, in page 12, line 27, to leave out the words "of a vehicle." The Amendment is made to satisfy the objections taken by the hon. Member for Wrexham (Mr. Aled Roberts) during the Committee stage, and the proviso is now modified to make it clear that the licensing authority will be bound to grant an application for the substitution of one vehicle for another which does not exceed the weight unladen.

Mr. ALED ROBERTS

I should like to thank the Minister for moving this Amendment. It certainly does make the position much clearer and will be a considerable assistance to people when they are changing vehicles.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In page 12, line 28, leave out the words, "of the same type and," and insert instead thereof the words, "of a vehicle of the same or of a less."—[Lieut.-Colonel Headlam.)
