Llywydd, as you said, these are technical amendments that all seek to improve various definitions provided in the Bill. Amendment 4 inserts the definition of ‘registrar’ into section 65 of the Bill, for registration of land transactions. Amendment 5 is linked to amendment 4, in that it removes an unused definition of ‘registrar’ in the same section, for the purposes of improving clarity. Amendments 25 and 26 insert the words ‘county’ and ‘county borough council’ respectively for clarity. Amendment 27 updates the section number provided in the Highways Act 1980 to ensure that the correct cross-reference is used when seeking the meaning for ‘highway’. I ask Members to support these amendments—they improve the drafting of the Bill.
