and the area in which a building must be situated if a duty or power is to arise in respect of it
§ The Under-Secretary of State for the Environment (Mr. Eldon Griffiths)I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.
The central point is that there will need to be power for the responsible authorities to publish a map. The Bill originally did not do this, and these technical amendments make it possible.
§ Question put and agreed to.
§ Subsequent Lords Amendment agreed to.
§
Lords Amendment: No. 28, in page 17, line 29, at end insert:
(5A) Regulations under this section may authorise the council of a London borough to contribute towards expenses incurred under the regulations by a responsible authority in respect of the insulation of buildings against noise caused or expected to be caused by the use of any highway in that borough in relation to which an order has been made under section 6 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1967 (traffic regulation orders in Greater London).
§ Mr. Eldon GriffithsI beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.
It was inspired by the Greater London Council following consultation with the London boroughs. It enables the boroughs to make contributions towards the payment of grants and towards the cost of insulating buildings. They would like to do this, and I am sure that this House would not wish to stand in their way.
§ Question put and agreed to. [Special Entry.]
