Road Safety Bill [HL]

I am sorry to be trying. It is correct that Clause 14(1)(a) refers to ““the end of 2010””, and that subsection (8) states that the,"““order . . .  is not exercisable after the end of 2010””," However, Clause 14(1)(b) expands on subsection (1)(a) by stating:"““or such later time as may be specified in an order made by the Secretary of State””." If the experiment is supposed to end by 2010, why is the provision opened up so that it can be extended indefinitely? We ought to agree that that provision should be removed so that there is no doubt that the experiment will end in 2010. If the Government require it to be extended further, proper means will have to be found to do so.
