§ 6.15 p.m.
§ Order of the Day read for the consideration of the Commons Amendments.
§ THE MINISTER OF POWER (LORD MILLS)My Lords, in moving that these Amendments be now considered I feel I must apologise to your Lordships for the short notice you have had to examine them. I am afraid that this was due to circumstances beyond my control, and I hope than none of your Lordships has been inconvenienced. I would only say in mitigation that almost all the Amendments are designed to meet points raised during the passage of the Bill in your Lordships' House and another place. I beg to move that the Commons Amendments be now considered.
§ Moved, That the Commons Amendments be now considered.—(Lord Mills.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
