The noble Earl said: My Lords, I have on the Paper certain amendments to the Bill. They arc all of a drafting character, though they are of some importance from the point of view of clarifying the Bill and making it cohesive. I do not know whether it would be your Lordships' wish that I should explain them in detail; if so, I am quite prepared to do so. Otherwise, perhaps your Lordships will permit them to be moved en bloc
