LORD KERSHAW

My Lords, it has been suggested that your Lordships might like to deal with this Bill as we dealt with the Coast Protection Bill, inasmuch as I gather the Amendments made in another place do not call for any controversy in this House. Perhaps it would meet with the approval of the House, if all these Amendments were taken en bloc. I beg to move that this House do agree with the Commons in their Amendments.

Moved, That this House do agree with the Commons in the said Amendments.—(Lord Kershaw).

LORD LLEWELLIN

My Lords, we have no objection to that course. All these Amendments are non-controversial. I have been through them, and I think it is much more convenient to deal with them en bloc as the noble Lord has proposed.

On Question, Motion agreed to.
