Mr. Ridley

These amendments are all consequential on the enactment of the Local Government Act 1985. As the House knows, that Act became law after this Bill had left the House, and the amendments are a result of that Act now being on the statute book.

If any hon. Member wishes to ask about any particular amendment, I shall be happy to reply. However, it is a complex and technical story which I would spare the House if it does not wish to hear it.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords amendments Nos. 23 to 25 agreed to.

Lords amendments Nos. 26 to 37 agreed to.
