CLAUSE 14.—(Power to acquire compulsorily for certain road purposes rights in connection with land belonging to local authorities and statutory undertakers.)

HC Deb 29 July 1935 vol 304 cc2421-2

Captain HUDSON

I beg to move, in page 18, line 27, to leave out "or."

This is a drafting Amendment in order to prepare for the following Amendment. The Amendment is to meet the point that we accepted in a manuscript Amendment from the hon. Member for Normanton (Mr. T. Smith). It is to give the same protection for widening and alteration of works of statutory undertakers for gas, water and electricity as is given in regard to railway, dock and canal undertakings.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In page 18, line 27, after "harbour," insert "works, or apparatus."—[Captain, Hudson.]

Clause, as amended, agreed to.
