LORD ABERDARE

My Lords, I should like to move Amendment No. 58 and at the same time to speak to Amendments Nos. 68 and 69 which cover the same point. This Amendment will enable Leicester No. 1 H.M.C. which, but for the reorganisation of the National Health Service, would have been designated as a University H.M.C., to be treated as such for the purpose of the transfer of trust funds to Special Trustees. I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment.

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

On Question, Motion agreed to.
