HC Deb 15 September 2003 vol 410 c680

Lords amendment No. 40.

Phil Hope

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

The amendment would solve problems that the London Assembly has experienced with timetabling the 10 mayoral question time meetings that it must hold each year.

Matthew Green

We welcome the amendment because Baroness Hamwee raised the matter in another place through an amendment that she withdrew for technical reasons. However, it clearly brought the matter to the attention of Ministers, who subsequently moved to deal with the matter. We are glad that they have done so.

Lords amendment agreed to.

Lords amendments Nos. 41 and 42 agreed to.
