New Clause 11
Charities Bill [Lords]
3:15 pm
Peter Bottomley (Worthing West, Conservative)
May I give wholehearted support to my hon. Friend’s new clause? A number of examples can properly be used. For example, on Remembrance Sunday, when organisations including the Royal British Legion want a temporary interruption to traffic, a regulation requires them to apply for a full traffic management order, and a fee is involved. Another example is that of a village that is going to have a popular regatta and wants to ban traffic on a road. In the past, that was done by custom and practice, but the law has been tightened up so that people have to apply for a temporary road closure order.
