LORD LUCAS OF CHILWORTH

My Lords, this is really a clarifying Amendment, and in view of what the noble and learned Viscount said I do not think I need trouble your Lordships further with it. I beg to move that this House do agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.

Moved, That this House do agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(Lord Lucas of Chilworth.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
