LORD MANCROFT

My Lords, I will certainly move Amendments Nos. 101 to 114 en bloc. I should like to thank the noble Lord, Lord Lucas of Chilworth, for his friendly remarks. To some of us it will riot seem the same not to have the Copyright Bill somewhere around your Lordships' House. We have had most interesting debates on the Bill, and to those debates I he noble Lord, Lord Lucas of. Chilworth. has been one of the most frequent and welcome contributors. I beg to move that the House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendments.

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

THE LORD CHANCELLOR

My Lords, I should not like this occasion to pass without saying just one word. My noble friend Lord Mancroft has paid a well-merited tribute to the noble Lord, Lord Lucas of Chilworth. I think your Lordships will have in mind that this is only one of three major Bills—I refer to the Restrictive Practices Bill, the Road Traffic Bill and this Copyright Bill—with which the noble Lord, Lord Lucas of Chilworth, has dealt in this Session, as well as performing other duties. I feel sure that I speak for the whole House, irrespective of Party, when I say that we appreciate immensely the service the noble Lord, Lord Lucas of Chilworth, has done to your Lordships' House in the unstinting care arid work he has put into these Bills. I hope the noble Lord will take what my noble friend Lord Mancroft and I have said as the most genuine tributes to hard and unselfish work.
