§ 56 Clause, 22, page 14, line 20, leave out ("committed") and insert ("taking place").
§ Lord Williams of MostynMy Lords, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 56. This is a drafting amendment to Clause 22(4). At present it provides that Clause 7(1)(b) applies to proceedings brought by or at the instigation of a public authority whenever the act in question "took place"; but that otherwise Clause 7(1)(b) does not apply to an act "committed" before Clause 7 comes into force. Amendment No. 56 replaces "committed" by "taking place" so as to be consistent.
§ Moved, That the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 56.—(Lord Williams of Mostyn.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
