At the end of paragraph (a) to leave out ("and") After paragraph (b) insert— ("(c) any rule, agreement, act or conduct which is contrary to the provisions of the charter shall be deemed to be contrary to public policy, (d) nothing in the charter shall be taken to restrict or abridge any right existing by statute or COMM011 law.)")

The Commons disagreed to the Lords Amendments numbered 13, 14 and 15 to the Commons Amendment numbered 12 for the following Reason:

Because the amendments provide inappropriate and ill-defined sanctions for failures to observe the charter.

Lord SHEPHERD

My Lords, I beg to move that the House doth not insist on their Amendments Nos. 13, 14 and 15 to the Commons Amendment No. 12, to which the Commons have disagreed for the Reason numbered 16, which is: Because the amendments provide inappropriate and ill-defined sanctions for failures to observe the charter. This is the matter which we discussed at great length a few minutes ago. I do not think I need add to what was then said.?

Moved, That the House doth not insist on their Amendments Nos. 13, 14 and 15 to the Commons Amendment No. 12, to which the Commons have disagreed for the Reason numbered 16.—(Lord Shepherd.)

6.45 p.m.

On Question, Whether the said Motion shall be agreed to?

Their Lordships divided: Contents, 80; Not-Contents, 168.
