The Lord Chancellor

My Lords, I beg to move the remaining amendments, Nos. 273 to 304, en bloc at the suggestion of the noble Lord, Lord Hutchinson of Lullington. The noble Lord has mentioned Amendment No. 292. That is a repeal amendment and I understood that the noble Lord wished to deal with all the amendments, including that one, when he talked of repeal amendments, and I will accede to that.

Lord Hutchinson of Lullington

My Lords, very well.

The Lord Chancellor

My Lords, I beg to move these amendments formally.

Moved, That the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 273 to 304.—(The Lord Chancellor.)

Lord Renton

My Lords, my noble and learned friend the Lord Chancellor has been on or at the Woolsack for nearly seven and a half hours. I think that is something that has to go into the Guinness Book of Records. I should merely like to add that I greatly admire him for his endurance and that I am grateful to him for his attention.

Lord Mishcon

My Lords, from these Benches I echo those remarks. The noble and learned Lord has, as always, shown great courtesy, great patience and great skill.

Lord Hutchinson of Lullington

My Lords, I should like to echo those sentiments, if I may. Perhaps I should add that the noble and learned Lord has sat on the Woolsack for 10 hours at one go and therefore this is not a record. I feel that I have made at least one contribution to altering the whole constitutional principle of going through amendments one by one.

The Lord Chancellor

My Lords, I am extremely grateful to my noble friend Lord Renton and to then noble Lords, Lord Mishcon and Lord Hutchinson of Lullington, for the kind things they have said. I am extremely grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Hutchinson of Lullington, for allowing me to take what was perhaps a slight short cut. I did not wish to do it off my own bat but I very much welcomed the suggestion when it came from somebody else. I did not wish to be accused of hurrying the matter unduly.

I should like to take the opportunity, since this is the last Question I shall put in relation to this Bill —at least I hope so—to thank all noble Lords who have taken part in the debates, both today and during the earlier stages. I believe the result is an even better Bill than the one which first arrived in your Lordships' House.

Moved, That the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 273 to 304.—(The Lord Chancellor.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.

House adjourned at ten o'clock.
