§ 3.35 p.m.
§ Read a third time.
§ Clause 38 [As to highways, traffic, etc.]:
§ The Chairman of Committees (Lord Ampthill) moved Amendment No. 1:
§ Page 22, line 3, after ("Executive") insert ("of").
§ The noble Lord said: My Lords, in moving Amendment No. 1, I shall speak also to Amendments Nos. 2 and 3.
§ Amendment No. 1 is a drafting correction in the proviso to Clause 38(6) (b). Amendment No. 2 relates to Clause 56. This clause provides for the making of orders for the repeal of either or both the two preceding clauses concerning the insulation of buildings against noise if, as a result of future general legislation, the Secretary of State considers it appropriate to do so. Orders of that sort should only be made by statutory instrument and the amendment of subsection (2) of Clause 56 so provides.
§ Amendment No. 3 is to Schedule 3. At a late stage it was found that the description of the site for an electricity substation in the schedule identified on the 715 deposited plans as, "the land in question", needs correction. The error arose because on the relevant sheet of the deposited plan the points of the compass were inadvertently reversed. I beg to move.
