Lord Bach

My Lords, on behalf of my noble friend, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 124 to 127. I shall also speak briefly to Amendments Nos. 170 to 173, 230 to 261 and 265 to 276.

This very large group of amendments serves to tidy up the Bill and ensure consistency and coherence. I can assure noble Lords that all of the amendments in this group are either purely consequential on the dissolution of the FEFCs and the creation of the LSC, CETW and the ALI, or represent minor technical changes in the light of the substantive provisions of the Bill. None of the amendments carries policy significance. I hope that noble Lords will accept that assurance and, in the interests of making progress, agree to the amendments without a detailed blow-by-blow account, which I am in a position to give if need be.

Moved, That the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 124 to 127.—(Lord Bach.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
