In section 159(1) (interpretation) for the definition of "excursion or tour" substitute—"'excursion or tour' means a stage or express carriage service on which the passengers travel together on a journey, with or without breaks, from one or more places to one or more other places and back; ".'.—[ Mr. Fowler.]

I beg to move amendment No. 74, in page 61, line 31, at end insert—

'1. In section 1(5) (power of non-metropolitan counties to make grants) for paragraph (b) substitute—
"(b) to persons providing facilities for sharing motor vehicles not adapted to carry more than eight passengers with a view to meeting the social and welfare needs of one or more communities.".'.
The amendment concerns social car schemes and is fairly non-controversial. I ask the House to support it.

Amendment agreed to.
