Proceeding contribution from Lord Maginnis of Drumglass (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 24 January 2007. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Street Works (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Order 2007.


Street Works (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Order 2007

As someone who is totally colour-blind, I could not possibly comment. This really is a matter for consideration. If we employ professionals, we require them to have properly trained people who should come along and say, ““You must move your equipment off-site because it may cause a diversion””. Those are some of the questions that I must ask about this legislation. I should like to know whether there is a schedule of road works, because that would have an impact. If there were a fixed schedule of works for a class of road, one would be able to consider this legislation in a slightly different light. I hope that the Minister can reassure me that this will not be, as I suspect it will be—and as I think he suspects it will be—a bureaucratic nightmare.
