§ 5.14 p.m.
§ THE LORD CHANCELLORMy Lords, lastly we come to Parts V and VI, Miscellaneous and General. I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 40. This Amendment is a transitional provision. Clause 36 provides a procedure for the enforcement of orders for costs, compensation and so on, made in criminal proceedings and in certain appeals to quarter sessions in proceedings which are not criminal—for example, licensing appeals. Obviously, when the Act comes into force there will be proceedings which are in different stages, and this is an Amendment simply to deal with the transitional stage. I beg to move.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(The Lord Chancellor.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
