I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.

Mr. Speaker

With this Amendment the House will take Lords Amendment No. 41.

Mr. Morgan

The first Amendment is a paving Amendment for the second. It amends Clause 46 to provide that before a court orders the forfeiture of any article such as a gaming machine which has been produced in evidence before it, it must give an opportunity to anyone claiming to be the owner of that article to be heard.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords Amendment agreed to.
