§ Lord BESWICKMy Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 73 to the Lords Amendment No. 72 and that this House doth not insist on their Amendment No. 74, to which the Commons have disagreed, and agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 75 to 80 to the words so restored to the Bill. On this group of Amendments, which are essentially drafting and tidying up, I hope there will be more agreement. Amendment No. 73 to our Amendment No. 72 clarifies where the time within which information is to be provided will be specified. This drafting change is consequential on other of our Amendments to which the Commons agreed. The Commons disagreement with our Amendment No. 74 is a necessary consequence of their wish to preserve the advisory nature of the independent committee which we have just discussed. Commons Amendments Nos. 75 to 80 do not raise any new 669 point of substance, but simply bring the wording of the words restored to the Bill more closely into line with those of other legislation which establishes similar procedures.
Moved, that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 73 to the Lords Amendment No. 72 and that this House doth not insist on their Amendment No. 74, to which the Commons have disagreed, and agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 75 to 80 to the words so restored to theBill.—(Lord Beswick.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
