High Hedges (No. 2) Bill – in a Public Bill Committee at 2:45 pm on 7 May 2003.

I mentioned on Clause 5 that a remedial notice could last for ever—or at least for as long as the hedge remains on the site. It is important, therefore, that the notice is not set in stone, for all time. For that reason, clause 6 provides that a local authority can withdraw a remedial notice or waive or relax its requirements. Unless the Committee would like me to speak for longer, I commend the clause on that basis.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 6 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
A parliamentary bill is divided into sections called clauses.
Printed in the margin next to each clause is a brief explanatory `side-note' giving details of what the effect of the clause will be.
During the committee stage of a bill, MPs examine these clauses in detail and may introduce new clauses of their own or table amendments to the existing clauses.
When a bill becomes an Act of Parliament, clauses become known as sections.
