HC Deb 30 July 1956 vol 557 cc1058-9

Lords Amendment agreed to: In page 12, line 25, leave out "the parking places" and insert "any parking place so designated".

Lords Amendment: In page 12, line 27, leave out from beginning to "in".

Mr. Deedes

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

It may be convenient if I also speak to the next Amendment in line 29. The object of the two Amendments—the first is only a preliminary to the second—is to require the Minister to consider the interests of owners and occupiers of premises adjoining areas where parking places are proposed. That is its only object.

Further Lords Amendments agreed to: In page 12, line 29, after "section" insert: the Minister shall consider both the interests of traffic and those of the owners and occupiers of adjoining property, and in particular the matters to which he shall have regard".

In page 13, line 30, leave out "the parking places" and insert "any parking place so designated".

In page 14, line 1, leave out "as aforesaid" and insert "of the operation of a parking place".

In line 2, leave out "to which the transfer relates".

Lords Amendment: In page 14, line 22, after "area" insert "in England or Wales".

The Lord Advocate

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

This is another Scottish application Amendment.

Lords Amendment: In page 14, line 24, leave out from "order" to end of line 26, and insert: (8) The Secretary of Slate may by order provide that subsection (1) of this section shall apply to any such area in Scotland as may be specified in the order; and as respects any such area—

  1. (a) references to the Minister in the provisions of this Act relating to parking places shall be construed as references to the Secretary of State;
  2. (b) the expression 'local authority' in the said provisions means a county council or a town council "

The Lord Advocate

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

This new subsection is of Scottish application.

Lords Amendment: In page 14, line 27, leave out "the last foregoing subsection" and insert "subsection (7) or (8) of this section".

Mr. Watkinson

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

This is purely a drafting Amendment necessitated by the inclusion of the new subsection (8) which provides for the Scottish procedure on this matter.
