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.
