71 Clause 103, page 43, line 12, after ("means(", insert ("such")

Baroness Blatch

My Lords, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 71. In moving this amendment, I shall speak also to Amendments Nos. 72, 76 to 79, 82 to 96, 100, 101, 121, 123, 126 and 127. We have already considered a number of amendments relating to free checks for volunteers. These amendments deal with onward disclosure of criminal record information by regulatory bodies.

Moved, That the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 71.—(Baroness Blatch.)

Lord Elton

My Lords, I rise because I have to leave before proceedings conclude. I wish to express a note of admiration of my noble friend for the astonishing way in which she has conducted not only this Bill but several other Bills simultaneously through this House in the face of reasoned and steady opposition. She has done so with great efficiency and aplomb. As one who has been at the Dispatch Box but never under such withering fire, I should like to give her my sympathy and congratulations.

On Question, Motion agreed to.
