Commons Bill [HL]

My Lords, we too welcome these amendments. It is nice to be able to agree so wholeheartedly with what has been done. I am particularly pleased with government Amendment No. 70. Indeed, we had already written an amendment that was almost word-for-word the same. We believe that the responsibilities lie where they should, with the appropriate national authority. It has the expertise to judge many of these issues. We are grateful for what seems to be a satisfactory conclusion to our thoughtful debates in Committee. Many points were made and we are glad to see that they have been accepted.
