The Solicitor-General (Sir Geoffrey Howe)

I beg to move Amendment No. 2, in page 28, leave out lines 2 to 4.

The proposed repeal should not stand, because if it did there would be no power to commit a defaulter under an order made under Part I of the Matrimonial Proceedings and Property Act, 1970. Upon that basis the repeal should not be made.

Amendment agreed to.

Schedule, as amended, agreed to.

Bill reported, with Amendments; as amended considered.

Motion made, and Question, That the Bill be now read the Third time, put forthwith pursuant to Standing Order No. 56 (Third Reading), and agreed to.
