§ THE MARQUESS OF LONDONDERRYMy Lords, this is an Amendment which is intended to meet the representations which have been made that before making an Order the Minister should first consult the owner of the bridge and the highway authorities concerned, and should hold an inquiry if requested in writing to do so by either of the parties. I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.
