§ Moved, That the Commons Amendments be now considered.—(Earl Ferrers.)
EARL FERRERSMy Lords, there may appear to be a fairly formidable list of Amendments to the Bill, but I think it is fair to say that the majority of them are improvements and they do not represent any major change of substance to the Bill. Therefore perhaps it might be for the convenience of your Lordships if I move the Amendments in 841 groups, where this is possible, briefly but I hope sufficiently, and if any noble Lord wishes to ask for more detail I shall be pleased to do my best to answer.
