§ House in Committee (according to Order).
§ Clause 1:—
§ LORD JAMES OF HEREFORDMy Lords, to this clause, which is the only clause in the Bill, there is no objection in point of substance, but the Home Office take the view—with which, I must say, I coincide—that it will be absolutely necessary to amend the drafting. However, as this is only a question of form, I think the better way would be to allow the Bill to go through Committee, and then, perhaps, the noble Lord will move the alteration in the wording in the Standing Committee.
§ LORD LEIGHI shall be much obliged to the noble and learned Lord if he will inform me what Amendment he would suggest, and I shall be quite willing to move it in the Standing Committee.
Bill reported without Amendment; and re-committed to the Standing Committee.
