Mr. Ancram

I beg to move amendment No. 132, in page 117 leave out lines 35 and 36.

This is a minor drafting amendment. There is in fact no need to change the word "commissioners" to "com-missioner" in section 62 of the Public Passenger Vehicles 1981 which Act relates to PSV driver licensing in the metropolitan traffic area since that section is repealed in Schedule 7.

Amendment agreed to.
