HL Deb 20 February 1990 vol 516 cc269-70WA

The following intervention by Lord Gallacher, relating to Amendments Nos. 117 and 118 to the Food Safety Bill, should have appeared at line 6 of col. 1235 of the report for 12th February but was omitted as a result of a reporting error:

"Lord Gallacher

I thank the noble Baroness for the words of explanation she gave in relation to both these amendments. As she has so rightly said, they have been tabled rather late in the proceedings and at a very late hour this evening. We shall not be opposing either of the amendments, but I think it would be only fair to say that we shall need to take advice on the matter, and if it is necessary to come back at Third Reading. I hope the circumstances will be understood by the Government."
