HL Deb 23 July 1974 vol 353 c1661

[No. 10] In paragraph (b) of the subsection inserted by the said amendment, leave out ("not").

BARONESS BIRK

My Lords, I beg to move that the Commons Amendment No. 10 to Lords Amendment No. 9 be agreed to. This is an intriguing Amendment since the word "not" crept in inadvertently and has to be deleted by Amendment.

Moved, That the Commons Amendment No. 10 to Lords Amendment No. 9 be agreed to.—(Baroness Birk.)

VISCOUNT COLVILLE OF CULROSS

My Lords, does this not prove the need for a Second Chamber consisting of your Lordships to scrutinise Bills?

BARONESS BIRK

Absolutely, my Lords; I have never disputed that, but I would prefer a reformed Chamber.
