§ Lord Dean of BeswickMy Lords, in moving the Third Reading of this Bill I pay my compliments to the Bill's sponsor in another place, Mr. David Jamieson, the Honourable Member for Devonport, Plymouth for the persistent way he has pursued the subject until finally he received the full support of the Government and of the whole House in another place. I also wish to express my thanks to the Minister in this House for the kind and considerate way that he dealt with the Bill in facilitating its passage through this House.
When the Bill becomes law shortly it will provide safer facilities for young people up to the age of 17 who wish to indulge in sports activities out of doors and may well go a long way to preventing a recurrence of the terrible tragedy in Lyme Bay in which four young people were drowned while canoeing.
Again, I thank everyone concerned. I beg to move that the Bill be now read a third time.
