POWERS OF ENTRY IN CASES OF SUSPECTED CONTRAVENTIONS

HC Deb 07 May 1987 vol 115 c876

Lords amendment: No. 20, in page 36, line 44, after "to" insert "laying an".

Mr. Ian Stewart

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

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this it will be convenient to take Lords amendments Nos. 21, 37 and 52.

Mr. Stewart

The amendments are technical drafting ones that improve the Bill in its application to Northern Ireland. I am advised that in clause 43, to which the amendments relate, the correct usage is to refer to laying information and making a complaint. Amendments Nos. 20 and 21 reflect that usage. In clause 79, the reference to Article 296 of the Companies (Northern Ireland) Order 1986 should, to be more exact, be Article 296(2). In clause 89, the reference to that order should have included the word "arrangement". Amendments Nos. 37 and 52 respectively correct those points of drafting.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords amendment No. 21 agreed to.
