HL Deb 25 July 1974 vol 353 cc1860-4
THE CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEES (THE EARL OF LISTOWEL)

My Lords, I beg to move the Motion standing in my name on the Order Paper. The Amendments to Private Business Standing Orders set out in the Marshalled List are, with the execption of Amendment No. 102, consequential upon the coming into force of the Local Government Act 1972, the Water Act 1973, and the reorganisation of Government Departments. Amendment No. 102 is consequential upon the new Public Business Standing Order No. 16, which provides for the recall of the House. Similar Amendments are being moved to-day in another place. In view of the large number of consequential Amendments, I think that it would be for the convenience of the House if, with your Lordships' leave, I moved Amendments Nos. 1 to 103 en bloc.
