Baroness Hooper

My Lords, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 88 to 91 en bloc. These amendments reflect the Government's acceptance of the Opposition's arguments in another place, that the scope of in-service training grant arrangements should be extended to cover a wide range of education staff—

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

And here, my Lords.

Baroness Hooper

My Lords, I beg to move.

Moved, That this House do agree with the Commons in the said amendments.—(Baroness Hooper.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
