HL Deb 28 February 1978 vol 389 cc395-6
The CHAIRMAN of COMMITTEES

My Lords, I beg to move that this Bill be now read a second time.

On Question, Bill read 2a.

Lord SANDYS

My Lords, I beg to move the Motion standing in my name on the Order Paper.

Moved, That it be an Instruction to the Committee to whom the Bill is committed that they should give special consideration to Clause 99, in so far as it relates to boats, to satisfy themselves—

  1. (1) that it does not constitute an unnecessary and discriminatory interference by local authority with the rights of the individual nor impose unjustifiable hardship on any individual now or in the future resident in the area; and
  2. (2) that the powers sought are suitable for inclusion in a Private Bill and that the question of amenity is one which ought to be treated, if at all, as a matter of criminal sanction rather than of planning law.—(Lord Sandys.)

On Question, Motion agreed to, and Bill committed to a Select Committee.
