HC Deb 04 July 1967 vol 749 c1630
Dr. Dickson Mabon

I beg to move Amendment No. 27, in page 24, line 24, at the end to insert: (5) The provisions of the last foregoing subsection shall apply to the Secretary of State as respects land for the time being held by him under section 25 above as they apply to a local planning authority as respects land held by them. This is a drafting Amendment to ensure that the Secretary of State has the same powers as the local planning authority to take such steps as may be necessary to protect the public from danger on any land which he himself may acquire for public access.

Amendment agreed to.
