Commons Bill [HL]

My Lords, I am grateful to the Minister for his comments on Amendment No. 79, which is grouped with these amendments. He indicated in Committee that he would come back on the issue but, unfortunately, sometimes these matters slip through the net. We look forward to hearing whether he thinks the amendment is necessary. If he does not think it is needed we may return to it. We have plenty of time before Third Reading, and I hope that the Minister will respond to our concerns. On behalf of my noble friend Lord Peel I thank the Minister for responding to issues that he raised during in Committee. I know that he is grateful to the Government for addressing those matters. As these are the last amendments—I shall obviously not be moving Amendment No. 80—I thank both Ministers for how they have conducted the Bill through Report stage.
