  • Clauses 1 to 24,
  • Schedule 2,
  • Clauses 25 to 28,
  • Schedule 3,
  • Clauses 29 to 34,
  • Schedule 4,
  • Clauses 35 to 37,
  • Schedule 5,
  • Clause 38,
  • Schedule 6,
  • Clauses 39 to 42,
  • Schedule 7,
  • Clauses 43 to 50,
  • Schedule 8,
  • Clauses 51 to 54,
  • Schedule 9,
  • Clauses 55 to 83,
  • Schedule 10,
  • Schedule 1.—(Baroness Scotland of Asthal.)

Lord Renton

My Lords, as I am sure the Minister realises, strong reasons are required when taking a schedule out of order, especially on Report. Why will Schedule 1 be taken at the very end of proceedings, and even after Schedule 10?

Baroness Scotland of Asthal

My Lords, this is the same order as that followed in Committee. It does not appear to be irregular or untoward.

On Question, Motion agreed to.
