§ Amendments reported (according to Order).
§ LORD BELPERMy Lords, I have been asked by the Home Office to call attention to the fact that some drafting Amendments were put into this Bill by the Standing Committee. There was no opportunity then of considering these, but the Home Office have since considered them, and practically the points which they dealt with have been considered before, and the Home Office do not consider that these Amendments are necessary, although they probably will do no harm. I must point out that there are several errors in them which would have to be amended, and therefore, as I understand, the noble Earl in charge of the Bill would approve of them being left out. I shall beg to move that the last clause, Clause 3, which was put in in the Standing Committee, be omitted and also the schedule.
§ Amendments made; Bill to be read 3a on Monday next.
