§ Lords amendment: No. 10, in page 11, line 12, leave out "agents or associates" and insert "or agents".
§ Mr. John FraserI beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.
Clause 13(2) is based on a precedent in the Consumer Credit Act 1974. There was some criticism of the inclusion of the word "associates", and the Government now accept that the word "associates", although appropriate in the Consumer Credit Act, would not be appropriate in the Bill. The amendment is made for that reason.
§ Question put and agreed to.
