HC Deb 05 April 1951 vol 486 c456

Amendment made: In page 20, line 37, leave out "exempts," and insert "excepts."—[Mr. G. Brown.]

Mr. G. Brown

I beg to move, in page 21, line 15, at the end, to insert: (5) Where there is in a harbour a pleasure pier which is not used or adapted for use as a landing place for goods or passengers, and is under the jurisdiction of undertakers other than the harbour authority, nothing in section two of the said Act of 1915 or in subsection (1) of this section shall affect the operation of any Act or order in relation to those undertakers or to their undertaking or works. This is a very small Amendment. It so happens that in the Bill as drafted there are certain small pleasure piers in fishery harbours without any fishery functions which would come under the administrative authority of my right hon. Friend. It would be better that they should remain under the control of the Ministry of Transport, and this Amendment would ensure that.

Amendment agreed to.
