Mr. Elystan Morgan

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

Mr. Speaker

I wish to point out that a slight misprint occurs in the Amendment in that "(b) section 69(2)" should read "(b) section 69(1)(a)".

Mr. Elystan Morgan

This is a technical Amendment relating to extent. In general, the provisions of the Bill have effect as part of the law of England and Wales only, but certain provisions must, of their nature, extend to Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Channel Isles, or the Isle of Man, and the Amendment so provides.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords Amendments agreed to.
