In the Title, line 1, after ("confirm") insert ("with amendments")
§ The noble Earl said: My Lords, with the leave of the House, I beg to move Amendments Nos. 1 to 5 en bloc. The confirmation Bill, as introduced, was drafted on the basis of a modified provisional order as made by the Secretary of State. It was desirable, however, to make certain amendments to the provisional order during the consideration stage of the Bill. The amendment of the order in this way has falsified the Long Title and Preamble. It is now necessary to make amendments to those to give recognition to the fact that the order has been amended during the proceedings on the Bill.
§ On Question, amendments agreed to.
§ Moved, That the Bill do now pass.—(The Earl of Dundee.)
§ On Question, Bill passed, and returned to the Commons with amendments.
