Moved, That the draft regulations laid before the House on 4th March be approved [26th Report from the Joint Committee]—(Lord Hardie.)

Lord Burnham

My Lords, I thank the noble and learned Lord for presenting these regulations to the House. We are entirely happy with them as they stand.

Lord Thomas of Gresford

My Lords, we have considered these draft regulations and are entirely happy with them. We have no further comment to make.

On Question, Motion agreed to.
