§ THE LORD CHANCELLOR (LORD HAILSHAM OF SAINT MARYLEBONE)My Lords, I rise to propose, in pursuance of Standing Order No. 45(2), that the House do discharge the Order of Recommitment and I ought to remind the House that this is a pure Consolidation Bill. 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 ought to be drawn.
I understand that no Amendments have been set down to this Bill and that no noble Lord has indicated a wish to move a manuscript Amendment or to speak in Committee on Recommitment. Therefore, unless any noble Lord objects, I beg to move, pursuant to Standing Order No. 45(2), that the Order of Commitment be discharged.
§ Moved, That the Order of Recommitment be discharged.—(The Lord Chancellor.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
