§ Lords amendment: No 22, in page 11, line 44, column 3, leave out "2" and insert "3".
§ Mr. Peter LloydI beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.
This is another drafting amendment. As a result of a schedule being added to the Criminal Justice Act, the reference to schedule 2 to that Act in this Bill is now to be to schedule 3.
§ Mr. ProctorMay I, on this most esoteric of Lords amendments and drafting points, be allowed to go out of order for a short time to congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Fareham on achieving the completion of his Bill, on the hard work that he has done to bring it through the House of Commons, on being patient and watchful of the deliberations in the Upper House and on always being courteous in replying to the many questions that I and other hon. Members have asked him. I also congratulate my hon. and learned Friend the Minister and other Ministers who dealt with the Bill in earlier stages. I thank his Department for its help on this measure.
§ Question put and agreed to.
