PASSENGER TRANSPORT ACT

Adjourned debate on motion of Hon. R.D. Lawson:

That the general regulations under the Passenger Transport Act 1994, made on 22 January 2009 and laid on the table of this council on 3 February 2009, be disallowed.

(Continued from 4 March 2009. Page 1491.)

The Hon. R.D. LAWSON (19:58): On the last occasion this matter was before the council I sought leave to conclude. I conclude my remarks by saying that the matters that are the subject of this debate, namely, the regulations under the Passenger Transport Act, which relate to country taxis, should be disallowed. However, the matter will be the subject of an examination by the select committee chaired by the Hon. Rob Brokenshire and, as a result of a request from the country taxi operators, I will not be proceeding with this motion. I therefore move:

That this order of the day be discharged.

Motion carried.
