RESTRICTIVE PRACTICES COURT BILL [H.L.]

HL Deb 16 February 1976 vol 368 c312

The LORD CHANCELLOR

My Lords, I beg to move that this Bill be now read a second time. Again, it is a pure consolidation Bill. It consolidates those provisions of the Restrictive Trade Practices Act 1956 which relate to the constitution, membership and administration of the Restrictive Practices Court and the procedural provisions of the 1956 Act, common to all aspects of the court's jurisdiction. The Bill will be considered by the Joint Committee in the usual way. I beg to move.

Moved, That the Bill be now read 2^a. —(The Lord Chancellor.)

On Question, Bill read 2^a, and referred to the Joint Committee on Consolidation Bills.
