Road Safety Bill [HL]

I have no objections to the amendments that have been moved. But I am unable to find anywhere else to intervene and ask the Minister to explain Clause 32(3)(e). With the leave of the Committee, I shall do that now. Clause 32 is entitled, Tests: approved assistants. Subsection (3) states:"““The regulations may make provision in relation to the approval of test assistants and may, in particular, include provision””." Paragraph (e) will include a provision,"““for an appeal to lie to the Transport Tribunal against a refusal of an application””." There may be a very hidden meaning here, but the phrasing seems to be extremely infelicitous if people are to be able to appeal to tell lies to the tribunal. That is how it reads. If that is not correct, at some stage we may want to amend the text. It seems a very strange way of putting things into legislation.
