Lord Renton

My Lords, is the noble Lord aware that taking clauses and schedules out of their numerical order often causes great confusion? Can he explain why Clauses 83 and 84 and Schedule 8 are to be taken before Clauses 16 to 26?

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

My Lords, I understand that the decision has been reached in agreement with the usual channels. Presumably, therefore, it is for good reason.

On Question, Motion agreed to.
