§ Mr. Alison
These amendments give power by order to modify the enactments dealing with the licensing and insurance of vehicles where the use of National Health Service vehicles is made available under Clause 11 to local authorities. Amendment No. 27 to Clause 13 makes similar provision in respect of vehicles the use of which is made available under Clause 13 to voluntary bodies. Amendment No. 101 makes comparable provision for Scotland.
