Transport (Wales) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Anderson of Swansea (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 10 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Transport (Wales) Bill.
My Lords, I have some sympathy with the amendment moved by the noble Lord, Lord Roberts of Conwy; indeed I question—as I suspect he does—whether Clause 1(3) is needed at all. Surely pedestrians and cyclists are included in,"““persons living or working in Wales””." If one starts to particularise, as one has done in this subsection, in respect of pedestrians and cyclists—and I do not really accept the distinction that my noble friend made—where does one stop? Clearly, disabled and elderly persons as mentioned in the amendment are people with special needs, who can be as distinct and special as the others. I have sympathy with the amendment, and I look forward to a definitive reply from my noble friend.
