HC Deb 13 May 1947 vol 437 cc1328-9
Mr. Silkin

I beg to move, in page 125, line 21, column 2, to leave out "subsection," and to insert "subsections."

This Amendment and the next Amendment should be taken together. Their effect is to give to the Minister of Transport or to the local highway authority powers to purchase land compulsorily for the purpose of providing a public right of way alternative to one which it is proposed to extinguish.

Amendment agreed to.
