§ Lord Fraser of CarmyllieMy Lords, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 21 to 27 en bloc. These amendments introduce procedural changes to Clause 31.
§ Moved, that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 21 to 27 en bloc.—(Lord Fraser of Carmyllie.)
§ Lord McCluskeyMy Lords, perhaps I should inform the House that I do not propose to oppose or to speak to any of the amendments that remain on the Marshalled List. I have looked at them and believe that, almost without exception, they are technical amendments, the reasons for which are perfectly plain in the Notes on Clauses.
§ Lord Macaulay of BragarMy Lords, perhaps for the convenience of the House I should indicate that I propose to move Amendments Nos. 82A, 83A, 83B and 83C. So far as I am concerned, the other amendments can go through en bloc, or whatever the procedure.
§ Lord Fraser of CarmyllieMy Lords, I am extremely grateful to the noble and learned Lord, Lord McCluskey, for his observation. In relation to the remaining amendments, I shall do no more than move them as formally as is required of me.
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
