§ Lords amendment: No. 11, in page 27, line 17, after "paragraphs" insert "22,".
§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health and Social Security (Mr. Ray Whitney)I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.
This is a technical amendment. Clause 29, which deals with commencement, states that any provisions not specifically listed there will be brought into force by commencement order. Paragraph 22 of schedule 5 is not listed, even though it will have retrospective effect from 1 January 1985. This is obviously inconsistent, and the amendment adds this provision to the list of those that will take effect on the day the Bill is enacted.
§ Question put and agreed to.
