HC Deb 25 March 1980 vol 981 c1361

In section 159(1) (interpretation) for the definition of "excursion or tour" substitute—"'excursion or tour' means a stage or express carriage service on which the passengers travel together on a journey, with or without breaks, from one or more places to one or more other places and back; ".'.—[Mr. Fowler.]

Mr. Fowler

I beg to move amendment No. 74, in page 61, line 31, at end insert— '1. In section 1(5) (power of non-metropolitan counties to make grants) for paragraph (b) substitute— (b) to persons providing facilities for sharing motor vehicles not adapted to carry more than eight passengers with a view to meeting the social and welfare needs of one or more communities.".'. The amendment concerns social car schemes and is fairly non-controversial. I ask the House to support it.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendments made:

No. 75, in page 61, line 32, leave out from 'For' to (1) 'in line 33 and in-sert— 'subsections (1) to (9) of section 5 (community bus services) substitute the following subsections—'.

No. 76, in page 63, line 48, at end insert— '2. Section 6 shall be omitted.'.—[Mr. Fowler.]
