The Lord Chancellor

My Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 56 and 57. As I said a moment ago, I spoke to these amendments when speaking to Nos. 50 to 53 inclusive. I beg to move.

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

Lord Renton

My Lords, when my noble and learned friend moved the Bill in your Lordships' House he wondered whether it would get through in this Session. I hope it is in order to rejoice with him that in a few moments it will be ready for Royal Assent.

The Lord Chancellor

My Lords, I am grateful to my noble friend, but I assure him that if I had not had the co-operation of all sides in this House it would not have got through this Session, so I wish to express my gratitude to all concerned who have helped me on my rather complicated way.

Lord Elwyn-Jones

I wish to join in the congratulations, My Lords, I hope the measures of reform the Bill introduces will enhance and improve the administration of justice, as we all hope it will.

The Lord Chancellor

My Lords, I thank the noble and learned Lord very much.

On Question, Motion agreed to.
