HL Deb 21 March 1972 vol 329 c603

[References are to Bill 72 as first printed for the Commons]

[No. 1. ]

Clause 5, page 7, line 31, leave out "sheriff" and insert "court"

THE LORD CHANCELLOR

My Lords, the four Amendments on the list are all Government Amendments and I am going to ask the House to agree with all four of them. I think they really are all technical, and although I am prepared to give a full description of them if need be, I do not think it is necessary. The one for which I now seek approval is No. 1, which is a Scottish Amendment. It relates to a drafting defect and brings into line the power of the Court of Session and the sheriff court to vary a Scottish order which has been sent overseas for enforcement. I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.

Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(The Lord Chancellor.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
