An amendment (privilege) made.

Lord Peyton of Yeovil

My Lords, I beg to move that this Bill do now pass. I know that this is not the moment for a speech but I should like to inject a note of civility and gratitude in the direction of the Government Chief Whip, who has been most helpful. Perhaps I may express the hope that his natural helpfulness and courtesy will prove a means of influencing his colleagues in another place to see the light which is so obvious to himself. Perhaps I may also ask him to pass on to Mary Robertson a note of my gratitude and everlasting admiration. I am most grateful.

Moved, That the Bill do now pass.—(Lord Peyton of Yeovil.)

On Question, Bill passed, and sent to the Commons.
