HC Deb 24 June 1968 vol 767 c174

SIGNPOSTING OF FOOTPATHS AND BRIDLEWAYS

Lords Amendment No. 25: In page 25, line 32, after "meeting" insert "for the parish".

Mr. Speaker

With this Amendment we will take Amendment No. 26, in page 25, line 34, after "be" insert "the chairman of".

Mr. Skeffington

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

These are drafting Amendments. We are grateful to the Parish Councils Association for drawing our attention to the need for them. The first corrects a situation in which it might appear that a site was situated in a parish meeting and the second provides that consent shall be given by the person who is consulted anyway—the chairman of the parish council.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords Amendment agreed to.
