§ Lord TrefgarneMy Lords, I beg to move that the House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 56, 57 and 58 en bloc. They are consequential on Amendments Nos. 34 to 41. My Lords, I beg to move.
Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said amendments.—(Lord Trefgarne.)
§ Lord MottistoneMy Lords, perhaps I may thank my noble friend again for reassuring me on Amendment No. 35 about what the terminology "other persons" meant. The words "other persons" also occur in a slightly different context in Amendments Nos. 57 and 71. I wonder whether my noble friend can reassure me that what he said about "other persons" on Amendment No. 35 applies equally in those places.
§ Lord TrefgarneYes, My Lords, I can give my noble friend that assurance.
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
