HC Deb 31 May 1956 vol 553 cc564-5
Mr. Molson

I beg to move, in page 19, line 26, after "constable", to insert: or any person acting as aforesaid". If it will give any satisfaction to hon. Members opposite, I will gladly admit that this was an oversight at the time when the Bill was being drafted. The effect is to make line 26 of subsection (3) of this Clause correspond quite fully and accurately with lines 18 and 19 of the same subsection. Clauses 25 and 26 contain similar provisions in respect of traffic signs placed either by a constable or any other person acting on police instructions. As this is a drafting Amendment designed to repair an admission, for which I would like to apologise to the House, I hope that the House will be pleased to accept it.

Amendment agreed to.
