HL Deb 01 November 1956 vol 199 c1241

[The references are to Bill No. 95 as first printed for the House of Commons.]

Clause 1, page 2, line 3, leave out from (" on ") to end of line 5 and insert (" any road, the authority shall—

  1. (a) if it is a public road, obtain the consent of the authority responsible for the maintenance of such road;
  2. (b) if it is a private road, consult the authority responsible for the maintenance of public roads in the area in which that private road is situated".)

THE EARL OF SELKIRK

My Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in this Amendment. The purpose of it is to ensure that in private roads the local authority are consulted before crush barriers are put up, so that they may approve the general way in which it is done.

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

On Question, Motion agreed to.
