92 Clause 68, page 47 leave out 'licence in respect of a vehicle used and engaged' and insert 'which is being operated'.

The Earl of MANSFIELD

My Lords, I beg to move Amendments Nos. 91 to 93 en bloc, and to speak to Amendment No. 97. These are minor drafting amendments which do not affect the intended application of Clause 68. They are consequential upon the Transport Act 1980, which was passed this Session. I beg to move.

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

Lord ROSS of MARNOCK

My Lords, does changing "holder" of a public service vehicle licence to "operator of a PSV licence lighten the onus at all upon the driver?

The Earl of MANSFIELD

My Lords, these amendments have no effect upon the application.

On Question, Motion agreed to.
