The Lord Chancellor

My Lords, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 445 and 446.

I spoke to Amendment No. 445 with Amendment No. 414 and Amendment No. 446 with Amendment No. 238.

COMMONS AMENDMENT

447 In the Title, line 4, after 'fostering', insert child minding and day care for young children'.

The Lord Chancellor

My Lords, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 447.

At long last, this adds to the Long Title to provide for the provisions on child minding and day care added to the Bill by Amendment No. 212 and others. I think that I should express my appreciation for the fact that your Lordships have given me such support until this hour and to the very last of the Commons amendments that we have been asked to consider.

Moved, That the House do agree with the Commons in the said amendment. —(The Lord Chancellor.)

Lord Renton

My Lords, with the amendment to the Long Title we say farewell to this important Bill. We should bear in mind that we are also saying farewell to 136 pages of Commons amendments which will double the length of the Bill.

I find it rather strange that the question of child minding and day care for the young has to be added to the Long Title bearing in mind that one would have expected those matters to have been considered at an earlier stage and brought into the Long Title from the beginning. Having said that —my views on the handling of the Bill are well known —I should like to pay a most sincere tribute to my noble and learned friend the Lord Chancellor —

Noble Lords

Hear, hear!

Lord Renton

—for the skill and patience with which he has discharged what I regard as a thoroughly undesirable task. We admire his clarity of mind and speech. We are grateful for the way in which he has shown consideration during this rather lengthy and hard-going handling of 447 amendments.

On Question, Motion agreed to.
