HC Deb 19 July 1990 vol 176 cc1221-2

Lords amendment: No. 35, in page 49, line 12, after "repeals" insert in the Criminal Jurisdiction Act 1975.

Mr. McLoughlin

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

Hon. Members will note that clause 54 postpones for two months after Royal Assent the commencement of several provisions, including schedule 3. Paragraph (3) of that schedule amends section 2(1)(a) of the Criminal Jurisdiction Act 1975. Therefore, the corresponding repeal in schedule 4 should be postponed for the same period, and the amendment will achieve that.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords amendments Nos. 36 to 39 agreed to.
