HL Deb 04 February 1999 vol 596 c1686

8.4 p.m.

Baroness Amos rose to move, That the draft order laid before the House on 26th January be approved [6th Report from the Joint Committee].

The noble Baroness said: My Lords, on behalf of my noble friend Baroness Hollis of Heigham I beg to move the order standing in her name on the Order Paper.

During the drafting of the original uprating order a transcription error meant that the amount of benefit for widowers' pensions in industrial injuries benefits was shown as £66.25 whereas the actual uprated amount equals £66.75. This is the corrected order. This matter was fully discussed in the House on the 21st January. I beg to move.

Moved, That the draft order laid before the House on 26th January be approved [6th Report from the Joint Committee].—(Baroness Amos.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
