THE LORD CHANCELLOR

My Lords, if you will look at the printed paper you will at once observe that most of these Amendment!; are of a formal or drafting character. It will, I think, suit the convenience of the House if I put a number of them to the House in a group. On the first page there are Amendments to Clause 1, Clause 3 and Clause 5 and over the page to Clause 6. Broadly speaking, they are all convenient adjustments of the Bill involving no new point of principle or of discussion. If I may, I will take that bunch of Amendments and I move that the House doth agree with the Commons in these Amendments.

Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendments.—(The Lord Chancellor.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
