My Lords, I thank the Minister for moving this amendment. It is a sensible redrafting of the word ““fair”” which makes the amendment of the register subject to justice, which may be asserted through the usual channels, rather than fairness. Fairness always raises the question of fair to whom. All sorts of people might demand corrections because they maintain it was not fair to them—this will rule out that possibility. So I thank the Government for taking on board the gist of our Amendment No. 82 in Grand Committee. On Amendment No. 27, I also thank the Minister for making the appropriate change to the Bill following Grand Committee.
On Question, amendment agreed to.
