Lord Lyell

My Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 83 to 85. For brevity I shall also speak to Amendments Nos. 91, 92, 94, 100 to 117 inclusive and 120. All these amendments are minor and they are technical changes. If any of your Lordships wishes me to explain any single amendment, I hope with customary brevity, I shall be pleased to do so. But if your Lordships will accept that these are technical and, in the main, consequential amendments, I will, with the consent of the House, move Amendments Nos. 83 to 85 formally.

Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said amendments.—(Lord Lyell.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
