HC Deb 29 June 1951 vol 489 c1805
Mr. Lindgren

I beg to move, in page 22, line 26, to leave out "will," and to insert "can."

The effect of the Amendment is to provide that the Minister of Transport has to be satisfied, before he can make an order to stop up or divert a highway, that the highway can be restored. This is one of those legal points, and I am advised that my right hon. Friend would have to go into the realms of prophecy in order to say whether a road could be restored, but if it is right that it should be restored, his requirement is to see that it can be done.

Amendment agreed to.
