Madam Deputy Speaker (Miss Betty Boothroyd)

I understand that it will be for the convenience of the House if we also consider Government amendments Nos. 17, 18, 56, 7, 19 to 29, 44 to 48, 54, 49, 30, 31, 50, 51, 32 to 34, 15, and 35 to 38.

Mr. Mitchell

All these amendments are technical and designed to clarify the operation of the Bill. I think that the House will find it perfectly acceptable to take them en bloc.

Amendment agreed to.
