HL Deb 19 October 1981 vol 424 c619

113 Clause 48, page 42, line 14, leave out 'showing' and insert' which (when considered with all other relevant evidence available to them) shows'.

The Earl of Avon

My Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 113. This is a useful amendment in that it ensures that surveying authorities whenever they discover or are presented with evidence which suggests that a definitive map and statement should be modified must take into consideration all other relevant evidence available to them concerning the status of the right of way involved. The requirement applies only to evidence currently at the authorities' disposal, and does not mean that they must actively solicit additional evidence either in support of or opposition to the particular proposal. I beg to move.

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

On Question, Motion agreed to.
