HC Deb 17 December 1936 vol 318 cc2786-7

Lords Amendment: In page 37, in the second column, leave out lines 26 to 31.

Captain HUDSON

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

This restores the right of appeal to quarter sessions in certain cases which are all local.

Lords Amendment: In page 37, in the second column, leave out lines 41 and 42 and insert: terms or conditions attached by the Minister to a consent given by him under the said Section twenty-five, being terms or conditions which, he declares to be necessary for the purpose of securing the safety of persons using the trunk road or of preventing interference with traffic on the road".

Captain HUDSON

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

This allows an appeal to quarter sessions against a complete refusal by the Minister to allow the placing of beams and pipes, etc., across the road but it allows the Minister to make provision for safety and traffic purposes.

Lords Amendment: In page 38, in the second column, leave out lines 8 to 10 and insert: any terms or conditions attached by the Minister to a licence granted by him under the said Section twenty-seven, being terms or conditions which he declares to be necessary for the purpose of securing the safety of persons using the trunk road or of preventing interference with traffic on the road".

Captain HUDSON

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

This relates to the same point as the previous Amendment, except that it refers to bridges.

Question put, and agreed to,

Subsequent Lords Amendments to page 40, line 36, agreed to.

FOURTH SCHEDULE.—(Modifications of the Restriction, of Ribbon Development Act, 1935.)

Lords Amendment: In page 43, line 7, leave out paragraph 6.

Captain HUDSON

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

This meets the criticism that the Minister should not amend existing Statutes without laying the Order before this House.
