Baroness BIRK

My Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 4 to 6 en bloc. I should like to speak on these Amendments briefly because they are fairly self-explanatory. Amendment No. 4 makes clear that we are dealing here only with the first year of a site. There has been no change from the original Bill, except that we felt that it was not clear enough before, although the intention was the same. Amendment No. 5 narrows it to the number of caravans, while still discussing the situation in the first year. Amendment No. 6 refers to the total rateable value attributable to those caravans.

Moved, that this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendments.—(Baroness Birk.)
