HC Deb 16 June 1972 vol 838 c1998

ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS AND DECREES RELATING TO CARRIAGE IN ACCORDANCE WITH CONVENTIONS

Lords Amendment No. 1: In page 5, line 6, leave out "against".

11.6 a.m.

Mr. Eric Ogden (Liverpool, West Derby)

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

This is purely a formal, drafting Amendment. The keen eyes of their Lordships noted that the word "against" which appears at the end of the third line on page 5 fully covered the word "against" which the Amendment deletes.

Question put and agreed to.

Mr. Ogden

On a point of order. As the Bill went through all its stages in this House almost purely formally, and only in the other place was it given any apparent consideration, it might be appropriate for me to thank Members on both sides who gave it very careful consideration in other ways for their courtesy and support in sending this useful Bill on its way to the Statute Book.

Mr. Speaker

Whether that is a matter of order is a matter of doubt.
