§ THE LORD CHANCELLOR (LORD ELWYN-JONES)My Lords, I understand that no Amendment has been set down to this Bill and that no noble Lord has indicated a wish to move a manuscript Amendment or to speak to a clause or Schedule. Before the House decides to discharge the Order of recommitment, if it so pleases, I should inform the House that this Bill was referred to the Joint Committee on Consolidation Bills under the provisions of the Consolidation of Enactments Procedure Act 1949. No representation was received by the Committee with respect to the memorandum setting forth the corrections and 738 minor improvements of the law proposed in the Bill and the proposals in the memorandum were approved by the Committee without alteration. Therefore, unless any noble Lord objects, I beg to move, pursuant to Standing Order No. 45(2), that the Order of Recommitment be discharged.
§ Moved, That the Order of Recommitment be discharged.—(The Lord Chancellor.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
