Schedule 5 - Schedule 22A to the Highways Act 1980
Traffic Management Bill
5:30 pm
Mr Greg Knight (East Yorkshire, Conservative)
I have a brief question. The second offence listed in this particular schedule relates to the failure of the owner of a skip to ensure that the skip is properly lit and marked. Could the Minister tell me whether there could be any circumstances whereby the owner of a skip could be under a higher duty than the owner of a car? In other words, if a motor vehicle is parked on a road, and does not need lights at night and the police will not bother with it, would that similarly apply to a skip, or is the owner of a skip under a more stringent duty with regard to this lighting provision?
