§ Lord McIntosh of HaringeyMy Lords, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 2 and 3.
We were concerned that the references in subsection (5)(a) and (b) to "provisions contained in" the Insolvency Act 1986 or the specified parts of the Companies Act 1985 might be interpreted too narrowly. In either case, some of the provisions may trigger subordinate legislation. It would be peculiar—and unintentional—if the affirmative procedure were triggered in that way. The intention of the amendments is to make the position more certain by changing the wording to read:
provisions contained in or made under".That covers primary and secondary legislation.Moved, That the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendments Nos. 2 and 3.—(Lord McIntosh of Haringey.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
