(10) The Lord Chancellor shall direct the submission to him of annual reports by lay observers on the discharge of the functions conferred on them by this section.

§ THE LORD CHANCELLORMy Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 8. This Amendment obliges the Law Society to give the lay observer the information he reasonably requires for his investigations, information which I am sure the Law Society will be very willing to provide, and it provides for the making of annual reports by the lay observers to the Lord Chancellor which are to be laid before Parliament. I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 8.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(The Lord Chancellor.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
