‘(2A) After that sub-paragraph there shall be inserted the following sub-paragraph—
“(2A) Any person may, on payment of such reasonable charge as the authority may consider appropriate, require an authority to give him notice of all such orders under section 210 or 214(1)(b) of this Act as are made by the authority during a specified period, are of a specified description and relate to land comprised in a specified area; and in this sub-paragraph 'specified' means specified in the requirement.”.”.
The Earl of Avon: My Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amend- ment No. 230, which needs to be read with Amendment No. 231, which with the leave of the House I shall move at the same time. As with Amendment No. 217, which deals with definitive map orders, this amendment fulfils in part the Spicer Committee's recommendation that a person should be able to arrange to be notified on a standing order basis of public path orders under the Town and Country Planning Act.
Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said amendments.-(The Earl of Avon.)
On Question, Motion agreed to.

The Earl of Avon: My Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 232. This amendment extends the definition of council offices for the purpose of displaying notices of the making and confirmation of public path orders under the Planning Act to include offices and buildings provided by parish and community councils.
Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said amendment. (The Earl of Avon.)
On Question, Motion agreed to.

COMMONS AMENDMENT

66
(5) Sub-paragraph (2)(b) and (c) and, where applic- able, sub-paragraph (4) of this paragraph shall be complied with not less than 28 days before the expiration of the time specified in the notice.
(6) A notice required to be served by sub-paragraph (2)(b)(i), (ii), (iii) or (v) of this paragraph shall be accom- panied by a copy of the order.
(7) A'.
The Earl of Avon: My Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 233. This amendment does two things. First, as with Amendment No. 220, it ensures that local authorities and other persons entitled to receive notice of orders have a minimum of 28 days in which to object and that the site notices are displayed no later than 28 days before the objection period expires. The second part requires, as recommended by the Spicer Committee, that copies of Planning Act orders should be sent with the notice to the various persons who will in future be notified of these orders.
Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said amendment. (The Earl of Avon.)
On Question, Motion agreed to.

COMMONS AMENDMENT
Page 101, leave out lines 15 to 18 and insert-
(c) for heads (a) and (b) there shall be substituted the
following heads-
(a) serve a like notice on any persons on whom notices were required to be served under paragraph 1(2)(b) or (4) of this Schedule; and
(b) cause like notices to be displayed in the like manner as the notices required to be displayed under paragraph 1(2)(c) of this Schedule.".
(2) That paragraph as so amended shall be renumbered as paragraph 6(1) of that Schedule and after that provision as so renumbered there shall be inserted the following sub- paragraphs--
“(2) A notice required to be served by sub-paragraph (1)(a) of this paragraph on-
(a) a person on whom notice was required to be served by paragraph 1(2)(b)(i), (ii), or (iii) of this Schedule; or
(b) in the case of an order which has been confirmed with modifications, a person on whom notice was required to be served by paragraph 1(2)(b)(v) of this Schedule,
shall be accompanied by a copy of the order as confirmed.
(3) As soon as may be after a decision not to confirm an order under the said section 210 or 214(1)(b), the authority by whom the order was made shall give notice of the decision by serving a copy of it on any persons on whom notices were required to be served under paragraph 1(2)(b) or (4) of this Schedule.".
The Earl of Avon: My Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amend- ment No. 235. This amendment serves two purposes. First, in accordance with Spicer Committee recom- mendations on publicising rights of way orders it requires copies of confirmed public path orders under the Planning Act to be sent with the notice of conûrma- tion to those persons entitled to receive copies of the order as made. Secondly, it requires order-making authorities to inform all persons on whom notice of making of an order was served of decisions not to confirm an order.
Moved, That this House doth agree with the Com- mons in the said amendment.—(The Earl of Avon.)
On Question, Motion agreed to.
