§ CAMPING AND PICNIC SITES
§
Lords Amendment No. 9: In page 12, line 14, at end insert:
,—with space for parking vehicles and a means of access to and from a road.
§ Mr. SkeffingtonI beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
The effect of the Amendment is to empower local authorities when providing camps within the terms of the Clause to provide space for parking vehicles and a means of access to and from a road. It may be thought that since there is reference to tents in the Clause the provisions specifically covered in the Amendment might not be possible. This is not the case; in fact, the power is fully contained in subsection (1), and it should be, because many people who camp today do so with motor cars and it is quite proper and sensible to make provision for motor vehicles at the same time as provision is made for temporary places for tents. However, the Amendment makes the position crystal clear.
§ Question put and agreed to.
