PART I$$A

MOTOR VEHICLES AND ROAD TRAFFIC ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1930 - SECT
2
Conveyance of mails by public service vehicles.

2.(1) The owner of any public service vehicle to which this section
applies shall convey by any such public service vehicle all such
mail bags as may be tendered by the Postmaster-General for
conveyance by such public service vehicle, and the officers of the
Post Office (if any) in charge of such mail bags, and shall
receive and deliver such mail bags from or to any Post Office or
officer of the Post Office on the route of such public service
vehicle:

Provided that

(i)the owner shall not be bound to carry any mail bags in or upon
a public service vehicle except such as can be carried without
interfering with the conveyance of passengers by the vehicle or
causing inconvenience to the passengers conveyed;

(ii)the owner shall not be bound to cause special runs to be made
by any public service vehicle for the conveyance of mail bags.

(2) The remuneration for any service performed in pursuance of this
section shall be such amount, not exceeding the charges payable for
the conveyance of parcels and passengers, respectively, as shall be
agreed upon between the Postmaster-General and the owner, or, in
default of agreement, determined by the Tribunal established by
section seven of the Motor Vehicles and Road Traffic Act (Northern
Ireland), 1929; and any matter of difference arising under the
proviso to sub-section (1) of this section shall also be determined
by the said Tribunal. The said Tribunal shall, for the purpose of
determining any matter under this sub-section, have the same powers
as they have in the case of a matter within their jurisdiction
under section seven of the said Act.

(3) For the purposes of this section the expression "public service
vehicle" means a public service vehicle [used under a road service
licence granted under Part II of the Transport Act (Northern
Ireland) 1967], and the expression "mail bag" has the same meaning
as in the Post Office Act, 1908.

(4) Nothing in this section shall be construed as affecting any
provision in any local Act with respect to the conveyance of mails
by public service vehicles:

Provided that in the Conveyance of Mails Act, 1893, as applied by
any such provision, the Tribunal mentioned in sub-section (2) of
this section shall be substituted for the Railway and Canal
Commission as the authority to determine differences in respect of
remuneration.
