Earl Ferrers

My Lords, I beg to move that this House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 67. In doing so, I shall speak to Amendments Nos. 69, 70, 71 and 353. Amendments Nos. 70 and 71 improve the structure of Clause 27 which provides a letter of request procedure for obtaining evidence from abroad. Amendment No. 353 contains the order-making power to apply a modified form of the procedure to service courts. Amendments Nos. 70 and 71 are consequential on the order-making power.

Moved, That this House do agree with the Commons in the said amendment. —(Earl Ferrers.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
