HL Deb 16 July 1981 vol 422 c1439

2Clause 12, page 7, line 29, after ("1960") insert (",section 169(3) of the Road Traffic Act 1972 and section 65(3) of the Public Passenger Vehicles Act 1981".)

3Clause 12, page 7, line 34, leave out subsection (2).

Viscount Colville of Culross

My Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 2 and 3.

These are purely technical. What has happened is that in Clause 12 there are at the moment two subsections dealing purely with verbal amendments to the Road Traffic Act 1960 and the Road Traffic Act 1972. Since then Parliament has passed a measure called the Public Passenger Vehicles Act 1981 which contains the same definition relating back to the Forgery Act. It is much easier to have a comprehensive reference to the three Acts in one subsection. Therefore what this amendment does is to incorporate the measure that we have just passed and cut out subsection (2) which is not necessary any more and amalgamate the three into one.

Moved. That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said amendments—(Viscount Colville of Culross.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
