HC Deb 20 June 1984 vol 62 cc395-6

Amendments made, No. 133, in page 39, line 23, leave out '12' and insert '14'.

No. 134, in page 39, line 23, leave out '1967' and insert '1984'.—[Mr. Ancram.]

Mr. Ancram

I beg to move amendment No. 135, in page 39, line 31, after 'and', insert '(where practicable)'.

This is a minor amendment, which has been requested by COSLA. Where a road authority utilises the power available under clause 60 to determine the restriction on the use of any road, it is required to specify an alternative route. This may not always be possible, particularly in the island areas, and the amendment therefore makes the qualification that it should be required where practicable. Accordingly, I hope that the amendment finds favour with the Committee.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause 60, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Clauses 61 and 62 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
