§ Lords amendment to Commons amendment considered.
§ Lords amendment to Commons amendment:
The Lords agree to the amendment made by the Commons in page 10, line 35, at end insert:which shall be subject to annulment by resolution of either House of Parliament",
§ but propose the following amendment thereto:
§ Leave out "by" and insert "in pursuance of".
§ 4.34 p.m.
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Law Officers' Department (Mr. Arthur Davidson)I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.
The amendment corrects a defect in the amendment, moved by the right hon. Member for Crosby (Mr. Page) at the Report stage of the Bill, which was accepted by the Government. Unless he or the House wishes me to go into an explanation, I have nothing further to say.
§ Mr. Graham Page (Crosby)I thank the hon. Gentleman for ensuring the correction of an amendment which he very kindly accepted from me on Report. It was entirely my fault that it was rather sloppily drafted, and I am very grateful that it had been corrected by their Lordships' House.
§ Question put and agreed to.
