11.10 a.m.

Mr. Mitchison (Kettering)

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

This is a drafting Amendment, linked up with subsequent Amendments.

Question put, and agreed to.

Lords Amendment: In page 1, line 10, after "erected," insert "or a previous owner thereof."

Mr. Mitchison

Question put, and agreed to.

Lords Amendment: In page 2, line 41, at end, insert: (f) in a case where the local authority, being satisfied that the street is not, and is not likely within a reasonable time to become, joined to a highway repairable by the inhabitants at large, by notice in writing exempt the building from this section;

Mr. Mitchison

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

Question put, and agreed to.

Lords Amendment: In page 3 line 10, after "of" insert: the British Transport Commission or any Executive established by or under section five of the Transport Act, 1947,

Mr. Mitchison

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

The Amendment is designed to relieve the anxiety of the Railway Executive about interference with their station approaches. I doubt if it is necessary, but I see no objection to it.

Question put, and agreed to.
