Mr. John

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the sail amendment.

Mr. Deputy Speaker (Sir Myer Galpern)

With this we may take Lords Amendments Nos. 19, 20 and 22.

Mr. John

You will be relieved, Mr. Deputy Speaker, to know that the amendments

Section 119(4)(b) £50 £200"

are no great matters of principle but merely incorporate drafting and consequential amendments upon the increase in fine under Section 119(4)(b) of the Highways Act 1959 which was accepted by the House on Report.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords Amendments Nos. 19 and 20 agreed to.
