§ Lord MELCHETTMy Lords, this order is straightforward consolidation. Indeed, if I may take this opportunity to say so, the rest of the orders before the House today are also simple consolidation, except for one which makes some consequential amendments as a result of the consolidation of supplementary benefits legislation. With your Lordships' permission I shall move the orders formally. I beg to move.
§ Moved, That the draft Rates (Northern Ireland) Order 1977, laid before the House on 8th November, be approved.—(Lord Melchett.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
