HC Deb 15 February 1993 vol 219 c77

Lords amendment: No. 8 in page 14, line 6, leave out ("subsection") and insert ("section")

Mr. Allan 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 amendments Nos. 9 to 11 and 18 and 19.

Mr. Stewart

These drafting amendments correct various provisions in the 1985 Act. I draw the attention of the House especially to amendment No. 11, which was tabled by the Labour party in another place. The amendment makes a useful and technical change to the 1985 Act which will benefit anyone who requires to petition for the recall of a sequestration.

Mr. Tom Clarke

I too especially welcome amendment No. 11. As the Minister said, my colleagues in another place, especially Lord Macaulay, helped with the drafting of the Bill. We give our thanks to them and welcome the amendment, which improves the Bill.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords amendments agreed to.
