HC Deb 27 July 1977 vol 936 cc686-7

The Lords agree to the amendment made by the Commons in page 6, line 37 and have made the following consequential amendment to the Bill:

Lords amendment: No. 1, in page 6, line 36, leave out second "or".

6.3 p.m.

The Minister of State, Home Office (Mr. Brynmor John)

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

Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. Bryant Godman Irvine)

With this we are to take Lords Amendment No. 9.

Mr. John

These amendments are consequential on amendments made on Report, when we moved to reduce the penalties for the offences in Clauses 6 and 8. All that we are doing here is to leave out the word "or", which would have led to more severe penalties under those two clauses.

Question put and agreed to.
