§ 8.19 p.m.
Captain HUDSONI beg to move, in page 18, line 25, to leave out from the second "road," to the end of line 30, and to insert:
the council in whom the road was vested immediately before it became a trunk road, and includes also any council by whom the functions of maintenance and repair of that road were then exercisable.934 This is really a drafting Amendment put in for clarity. The purpose is to make it quite clear that in the case of roads in respect of which the county council have delegated the functions of maintenance and repair under Section 35 of the Local Government Act, 1929—that is, a claimed road—the property which was vested in either of the councils for the purposes of their functions shall be transferred to the Minister under Clause 7 (1) or by the Fifth Schedule. The Amendment is only put in to make the wording more clear.Amendment agreed to.
Motion made, and Question, "That the Clause, as amended, stand part of the Bill" put, and agreed to.
§ Clause 14 (Short title, citation and extent) ordered to stand part of the Bill.
