LORD STONHAM

I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendments 12, 17, 18, 39, 41, 42 and 43. These Amendments to Clause 27, "Orders for restitution", and Schedules 2 and 3, take account of the passage of two consolidation measures, the Criminal Appeal Act 1968 and the Firearms Act 1968. They merely replace references in the Bill to current criminal appeal and firearm provisions with references to the Consolidation Acts. No changes of substance are made.

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

On Question, Motion agreed to.
