HL Deb 18 June 1991 vol 530 c80

45 Clause 50, page 29, line 22, after 'other' insert 'procedural'.

Lord Brabazon of Tara

My Lords, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 45. I shall speak also to Amendments Nos. 57, 109 and 121.

These are drafting amendments which meet concerns voiced on behalf of the utilities. Amendment No. 45 limits the requirements which may be prescribed or imposed for the purposes of coordination of works to the providing of information and other procedural steps to be taken. Amendment No. 57 enables a street authority which requires the removal of an unnecessary obstruction by notice to give the undertaker longer than 24 hours to comply where appropriate. Amendments Nos. 109 and 121 do the same for Scotland.

Moved, That the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 45.—(Lord Brabazon of Tara.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
