Part of Orders of the Day — Part Ii – in the House of Commons am 12:00 am ar 13 Mai 1947.
The procedure which the Amendment seeks to impose is one which normally will be followed. Of course the imposition of a new trunk road on a plan would have a very important effect —it would seriously affect the plan for better or worse—and, I believe, it cannot be done without the knowledge or approval of the Minister. I take it we are agreed there—it just would not happen. The only question is whether there should be words in this Clause to say the obvious. I do not mind at this time of the night putting in words even to say the obvious, for the sake of peace, but I should like to consider whether there is any snag in these words. There is no difference between us as to what is to happen and, subject to there being no objection to words of this sort, either constitutional or otherwise, I should be quite prepared to see that they are put in at a later stage.
