HC Deb 31 July 1978 vol 955 c166

Lords amendment: No. 24, in page 18, line 23, leave out ("3") and insert ("4").

Mr. Horam

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

It being Ten o'clock, the further consideration of the Lords amendments stood adjourned.

Ordered,

That, at this day's sitting, the consideration of Lords Amendments to the Transport Bill may be proceeded with, though opposed, until any hour.—[Mr. Bates.]

Lords amendments again considered.

Mr. Horam

Clause 4, "Concessionary fare schemes", was added to the Bill to require all county councils which have to prepare and publish annual public passenger transport plans to include in them certain material about travel concession schemes. Clause 22 lays down that the requirements about county transport planning in clauses 1 to 3 do not apply to Scotland, and clause 4 should likewise be disapplied. The amendment secures this.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords amendment no. 25 agreed to.
