HL Deb 12 November 2003 vol 654 c1389

19 Clause 107, page 58, line 39, at end insert— ( ) Schedule (Transitional provisions and savings) contains transitional provisions and savings.

Lord Filkin

My Lords, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 19. I shall speak also to Amendments Nos. 20, 27, 29 and 30 to Clause 107 and Schedules 7 and 8, with the introduction of a new schedule for transitional provisions and savings. I shall not go into the detail of the amendments. They are all minor, technical and consequential amendments, though I would be happy to elaborate further should the House wish me to do so.

Amendment No. 29 would introduce a schedule that includes a provision in the statute that local justice areas introduced in the Bill have the same boundaries as petty sessions areas. That meets a commitment made during the passage of the Bill through this House.

Moved, That the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 19.—(Lord Filkin.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
