VISCOUNT GAGE

My Lords, the first of these Amendments is to give Parliament greater supervision over procedure, which no doubt will be welcome to your Lordships. The next Amendment is consequential; the Amendment in line 26 simply clarifies a small point; and the Amendment at line 29 is a drafting Amendment. I beg to move that these Amendments be agreed to en bloc.

Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendments.—(Viscount Gage.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
