Shared Mobility Enterprises (Control and Licensing) Bill

6.32 pm

The Senior Minister of State for Transport (Dr Janil Puthucheary) (for the Minister for Transport): Mr Deputy Speaker, on behalf of the Minister for Transport, I beg to move, "That the Bill be now read a Second time."

**** Mr Deputy Speaker, the Shared Mobility Enterprises (Control and Licensing) Bill 2020 will set up a new Act to regulate shared mobility services. The Bill replaces the relevant licensing regime of such services from the Parking Places Act and expands the licensing regime for more comprehensive coverage. This Bill is linked to the previous Bill in our Order Paper, the Active Mobility (Amendment) Bill 2020. In the debate we have just had on the Active Mobility Bill, I have already explained the amendments proposed in both Bills. Members have already raised their questions and expressed their views on both Bills during the earlier debate, although they are still welcome to do so now if there are any additional questions or views. Mr Deputy Speaker, I beg to move.

Question put, and agreed to.

Bill accordingly read a Second time and committed to a Committee of the whole House.

The House immediately resolved itself into a Committee on the Bill. – [Dr Janil Puthucheary].

Bill considered in Committee; reported without amendment; read a Third time and passed.
