§ Lord Falconer of ThorotonMy Lords, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 87. I shall speak also to Amendments Nos. 88 to 90 inclusive. They amend the Criminal Appeal Act 1968. These are technical and I hope uncontroversial amendments which correct drafting defects. They are necessary to facilitate a consolidation Bill in a future Session of Parliament.
§ Moved, That the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 87.—(Lord Falconer of Thoroton.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
