EARL RUSSELLMy Lords, the effect of these Amendments is to give effect to an undertaking given during the debates in Committee in the other place, that certain of the provisions of Part I of the Bill would be made applicable to trolley vehicles, on the ground that they did not differ essentially from omnibuses. It was agreed that the provisions of Part I could not in any case be made applicable to tramcars and tramway undertakings, as these were governed by special Acts and Orders. The provisions of the Bill which it is proposed to snake applicable to trolley vehicles are those relating to the licensing of drivers and the disqualification for offences and endorsement of convictions, careless and dangerous driving, being drunk in charge, and inquiries into accidents. The effect of these Amendments, which I have read out to your Lordships, is to apply this Part of the Bill to trolley vehicles, and I think I might move this set of Amendments en bloc.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendments.—(Earl Russell.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
