HL Deb 25 July 1930 vol 78 c878

Clause 64, page 50, line 17, at end insert:

("(2) A public service vehicle licence may be refused or, if it has already been granted, may at any time be suspended or revoked by the commissioners by whom it was granted if, having regard to the conduct of the applicant or holder of the licence or to the manner in which the vehicle is being used, it appears to them that he is not a fit person to hold such a licence.")

EARL RUSSELL

My Lords, the effect of this is to give the Commissioners power to suspend or revoke a licence if the conduct of the holder of the licence or the way in which the vehicle has been used shows he is not a fit person. It gives an appeal to the Minister by people who are aggrieved. I move that we agree.

Moved, That this House with the Commons in the said Amend ment.—(Earl Russell.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
