Road Safety Bill [HL]

moved Amendment No. 29:"Page 72, line 13, at end insert—" ““35A   (1)   Section 30 (modification of sections 28 and 29 in case where fixed penalty also in question) is amended as follows. (2)   In subsection (1)(b)— (a)   omit ““the counterpart of his licence or””, and (b)   for ““57, 57A, 77”” substitute ““57A””. (3)   In subsection (2)(b)— (a)   omit ““on the counterpart of his licence or””, and (b)   for ““57, 57A, 77”” substitute ““57A””.”” The noble Baroness said: In moving Amendment No. 29, I speak also to government Amendments Nos.   30, 31 and 32, which correct minor drafting errors and omissions in Schedule 3 to the Bill. Clauses 7, 8 and 9, together with Schedules 2 and 3, introduce a new system of endorsement of driving licence which, when extended to all drivers, will mean that the counterpart will no longer have any function, as we discussed earlier. As a result, Schedule 3 contains further legislative amendments about the endorsement of driving records in the case of all drivers, much of which is concerned with removing all references to the counterpart. The   amendments ensure that all relevant legislative references are properly updated to take account of the provisions in the Bill concerning the new system of endorsement. I urge Members of the Committee to support the amendments. On Question, amendment agreed to.
