HC Deb 28 October 1985 vol 84 c742

Lords amendment: No. 58, in page 49, line 24, after "words" insert "convicted".

The Solicitor-General for Scotland

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

This is a drafting amendment to correct an omission in the wording of an appeal.

Mr. Ewing

It is significant that the last amendment with which we shall deal contains the word "convicted'. I think that this is appropriate in relation to the Government.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords amendments Nos. 59 and 60 agreed to.

Lords amendments Nos. 61 and 62 disagreed to.

Committee appointed to draw up reasons to be assigned to the Lords for disagreeing to certain of their amendments to the Bill: Mr. Dewar, Mr. Ewing, Mr. John MacKay, the Solicitor-General for Scotland and Mr. Allan Stewart; Three to be the quorum.—[Mr. John MacKay.]

To withdraw immediately.
