§
Lords Amendment: In page 26, line 6, at end insert:
and any pavement, foothpath, drain, ditch or verge at the side of a road or street:
§ Mr. J. N. BrowneI beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
This Amendment extends the definition of the word " road ". The importance of the definition has been increased by the insertion of the new Clause " A ", which enables the buildings authority to give permission for the temporary occupation of a road for the deposit of materials or other purposes. It is desirable that there should be no doubt about what is meant by a road in that context. The Amendment does nothing to alter the intention of the original definition.
§ Question put and agreed to.
§ Lords Amendment: In page 26, line 34, after " amended " insert " applied ".
§ The Solicitor-General for Scotland (Mr. William Grant)I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
1225 This is a purely technical Amendment. The effect of the Amendment is to provide that any reference in the Bill to an enactment shall be construed as a reference to that enactment as applied, and not only as amended or extended, by any other enactment.
§ Question put and agreed to.
