My Lords, I beg to move that the House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 175. Part II of Schedule 9 is a list of plants which may be introduced into the wild only under licence. Amendment No. 175 would add three further species to the list. All are exotics. My Lords, I beg to move.

Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said amendment.—(The Earl of Avon.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
