HL Deb 20 October 1998 vol 593 c1391

95 Schedule 11, page 92, line 38, at end insert— ("or the Broadcasting Act 1996 (c.55.);").

Lord Simon of Highbury

My Lords, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 95. I shall speak also to Amendments Nos. 96, 97 and 98.

These are straightforward amendments to correct omissions in Schedule 11 to the Bill. Schedule 11 lists persons to whom and functions for which information obtained under the Bill may be disclosed. Amendment No. 97 adds to Schedule 11 the Independent Television Commission, and Amendment No. 95 adds the Broadcasting Act 1996, which contains the ITC's relevant functions. Amendment No. 98 adds to the schedule the Director of Passenger Rail Franchising and the International Rail Regulator. Amendment No. 96 adds the International Rail Regulator's relevant functions under subordinate legislation made for the purpose of implementing three EC directives on the development of the Community railways.

Moved, That the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 95.—(Lord Simon of Highbury.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
