HL Deb 15 November 1934 vol 94 cc488-9

Page 25, line 2, at end, insert: ("(3) Subsection (2) of Section five shall have effect as if for the councils and authori- ties (other than the licensing authority) therein mentioned the following councils and authorities were substituted, that is to say:—

  1. (a) the council of the county or burgh within which the track or any part thereof is situate; and
  2. (b) the responsible authority under a planning scheme in force in any area which includes the track or any part thereof;
where such council or responsible authority is not the licensing authority.")

THE MARQUESS of LONDONDERRY

My Lords, Clause 5, subsection (2) of the Bill, as amended, provides that at least two months before the date on which an application is made the applicant for a licence shall give notice of his intention together with certain other particulars to the licensing authority, to the council of the county district or metropolitan borough in which the track or any part thereof is situate, to the responsible authority under a town planning scheme in force in an area which includes the track or any part thereof and to the chief officer of Police. The present Amendment adapts this provision to Scotland by substituting the burgh and county councils for the English district and metropolitan borough councils. It also makes it unnecessary to give notice to the local or town planning authority in cases where that authority is also the licensing authority, and accordingly receives notice as such. I beg to move.

Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(The Marquess of Londonderry.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
