LORD CARRINGTON

My Lords, the two subsections which are left out are to be replaced by two new ones which do not in any way alter the meaning of the provisions but merely clarify the language. I beg to move that the House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.

Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(Lord Carrington.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
