HC Deb 18 November 1998 vol 319 c1073

Lords amendment: No. 178, in page 36, line 24, leave out ("and for making any necessary financial adjustments")

Mr. Ingram

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

Mr. Deputy Speaker (Sir Alan Haselhurst)

With this, it will be convenient to discuss Lords amendments Nos. 179 to 192, 196 to 200, 205 to 221, 349 to 363, 365 to 372, 378, 379, 384 and 386 to 417.

Mr. Ingram

I do not intend to deal specifically with all the amendments, but the group features many miscellaneous provisions, several consequential on changes of substance earlier in the Bill. They include further provision to permit proper co-ordination between the social security systems in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, several additions to the list of provisions to commence on the passing of the Bill, further guidance on interpretation, and a range of consequential changes to existing legislation, resulting from the Bill's main provisions. I commend all the amendments to the House.

Lords amendment agreed to.

Lords amendments Nos. 179 to 192 agreed to.
