§ (1) For removing doubts it is hereby declared that the powers conferred on a local authority by subsections (2) and (3) of section ninety of the principal Act (which relate to the appointment of a parking place as a station for public service vehicles and confer amongst other powers a power to make certain charges) are in addition to and not in substitution for the powers conferred on a local authority by section sixty-eight of the Public Health Act, 1925 (which relates to the provision of parking places and confers amongst other powers a power to make regulations as to certain charges).
§ (2) A local authority shall have power to make charges for the use of a parking place, not being part of a street, as a station for public service vehicles.
§ The charges to be made under this subsection as respects any vehicles shall be such reasonable charges as may be fixed by the local authority, so however, that if the public service vehicle licence holder in respect of any vehicles using the parking places as a station considers that the charges fixed are unreasonable, then, in default of agreement between the licence holder and the local authority for a reduction thereof, the charges in respect of those vehicles shall be such as may be determined by the Minister.
2152§ Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKER (Captain Bourne)I call the attention of the House to the fact that this Amendment raises a question of Privilege.
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAI beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."
This Amendment is declaratory of the law and enables local authorities beyond any doubt to charge for the use of stations or parking places for public service vehicles. The only change in the law is that it names the Minister in any complaint as to charge.
