HC Deb 22 July 1974 vol 877 cc1252-3

1.15 a.m.

Dr. Gilbert

I beg to move Amendment No. 208, in page 40, line 45, after 'and' insert '(a)'.

This amendment gives the Secretary of State power, in making any order relating to local authorities power to change taxi fares by resolution, to include requirements about publicity for any such resolution. It meets a point raised by the right hon. Member for Crosby (Mr. Page) in Committee.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendment made: No. 209, in page 40, line 46, at end insert: ';and (b) may include provision for securing that appropriate steps are taken to publish any resolution passed in pursuance of the order and to make copies available to the public'.—[Dr. Gilbert.]
