LORD STANMORE

My Lords, I do not think your Lordships will wish me to deal with this Report at any length. The only matter of any importance is the first item, which regularises the conditions of financial control over the Custodian Staff. The other items relate to routine business. I beg to move that the Report be now agreed to.

Moved, That the Report be agreed to.—(Lord Stanmore.)
