HL Deb 17 November 1976 vol 377 cc1372-3

[No. 5.]

Clause 2, page 4, line 3, after "(8)" insert "Copies of".

The LORD CHANCELLOR

My Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 5. This is a drafting Amendment which makes it clear that it is only copies of the Board's annual report that are to be laid before each House of Parliament by the Secretary of State and not the actual report made to him. It is surprising that it should be deemed necessary, but apparently it is.

Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(The Lord Chancellor.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
