§ THE MARQUESS OF LONDONDERRYMy Lords, the next four Amendments I shall venture to take together. The first Amendment gives effect to the proposal that the system of licensing should come into effect on the 1st July, 1935. The effect of the other three Amendments, briefly, is to simplify the procedure. under Clause 7 by substituting for the proposals in the Bill the simple requirements that an applicant for a licence in respect of an existing track must first of all give notice to the licensing authority and to the Police of his intention to apply for a licence; secondly, show that he is entitled to benefit by the special procedure prescribed for existing tracks; and thirdly, he must advertise his intention to apply for a licence, so as to enable his statements to be checked.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendments.—(The Marquess of Londonderry.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
