Commons Bill [HL]

moved Amendment No. 230:"Page 34, line 32, leave out paragraph 3 and insert—" ““3   (1)   Section 29 of the National Trust Act 1907 (c. cxxxvi) (powers exercisable over common or commonable land) is amended as follows. (2)   Renumber the existing provision as subsection (1). (3)   In that subsection, for ““consists of common or commonable land”” substitute ““is land to which this section applies””. (4)   After that subsection insert— ““(2)   This section applies to— (a)   any land registered as common land; and (b)   land not so registered which is— (i)   regulated by an Act made under the Commons Act 1876 confirming a provisional order of the Inclosure Commissioners, or (ii)   subject to a scheme under the Metropolitan Commons Act 1866 or the Commons Act 1899.”””” The noble Baroness said: This amendment to the National Trust Act 1907 ensures that the controls on works in Part 3 will apply to the same type of land, whether or not it is owned by the National Trust. The amendment clarifies in particular that the controls will cover any unregistered common land owned by the National Trust that is subject either to a provisional order confirmation Act or a scheme made under the Metropolitan Commons Act 1866 or the Commons Act 1899. The trust is aware of this amendment and is content with it. I ask the Committee to accept it and I beg to move.
