§ THE LORD CHANCELLOR rose to move, pursuant to Standing Order No. 43(2), "That the Order of Recommitment be discharged". The noble and learned Lord said: My Lords, I am afraid the speech I am about to deliver bears an uncanny resemblance to the one which I delivered less than two minutes ago, but the Standing Orders require me to make it, so I hope that your Lordships will bear with me. Before the House decides to discharge the Order of Recommitment, if it so pleases, I should inform your Lordships that this also is a pure Consolidation Bill, falling within the first category of Bills referred to the Consolidation Committee, and in their Report the Joint Committee state that the Bill represents the existing law and there is no point to which the attention of Parliament should be drawn. I understand that no Amendments have been set down to this Bill and that no noble Lord has indicated a wish to submit a Manuscript Amendment or to speak on Recommitment. Unless any noble Lord objects, I beg to move that the Order of Recommitment be discharged.
§ Moved, That the Order of Recommitment be discharged.—(The Lord Chancellor.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
