The Commons disagree to this amendment for the following reason—
§ 29A Because it is unnecessary.
§ Lord WarnerMy Lords, I beg to move that the House do not insist on its Amendment No. 29 to which the Commons have disagreed for their reason numbered 29A. Again, for the interest of the House, perhaps I may record that the vote in the Commons was 349 for this change and 217 against. So the will of the Commons has been very clearly expressed.
§ Moved, That the House do not insist on its Amendment No. 29 to which the Commons have disagreed for their reason numbered 29A.—(Lord Warner.)
§ 29B Lord Clement-Jones had given notice of his intention to move, as an amendment to the Motion that the House do not insist on its Amendment No. 29 to which the Commons have disagreed for their Amendment No. 29A, leave out "not".
