Clause 15 - Notice of removal
Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Bill
9:45 am
Mr Alun Michael (Minister of State (Rural Affairs), Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs; Cardiff South and Penarth, Labour/Co-operative)
What I said in introducing this clause was meant to cover all the points that could possibly be raised. I said that existing legislation on abandoned cars was contained in two Acts, so we had to amend both Acts. The police will retain powers under the 1984 Act; we are not creating new duties and powers. The clause does nothing more than change the requirement for issuing notices.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 15 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
