Schedule 3 - Schedule 4B to the New Roads and
Traffic Management Bill

Viscount John Thurso (Shadow Secretary of State for Scotland (And Transport), Scotland; Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross, Liberal Democrat)
I ask one question of the Minister, which relates to paragraph 7 and the power to withdraw notices. It gives the street authority the power to withdraw notices if it thinks that it
''ought not to have been given''.
Paragraph 7(3) states:
''The street authority shall consider any representations made by or on behalf of the recipient of a fixed penalty notice and decide in all circumstances whether to withdraw the notice.''
Will there be any form of independent adjudication, which I understand to be the case in most fixed penalty notice regimes?
