HL Deb 28 October 2003 vol 654 c143

10 Clause 93, page 62, line 4, at end insert— ( ) Any day appointed for the purposes of Part 1 (other than sections 32 to 41), and the related amendments and repeals, is to be one decided by the Secretary of State and the Scottish Ministers.

Lord Filkin

My Lords, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 10. This amendment simply deals with the commencement arrangements and makes it explicit that the UK and Scottish Ministers will co-operate on bringing in the measures at the same time in both Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom as that will be in the interests of comprehensibility and effective implementation.

Moved, That the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 10.—(Lord Filkin.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
