VISCOUNT ECCLES

My Lords, I should apologise to your Lordships because I have already spoken to this Amendment, No. 4 by mistake, instead of to Amendment No. 3.

LORD SHACKLETON

My Lords, may I interrupt the noble Viscount? Does he consider that what he has done is perhaps due to the influence of the noble Lord, Lord Polwarth?

VISCOUNT ECCLES

My Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 4.

Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(Viscount Eccles.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
