Lords amendment: No. 11, in page 27, line 17, after "paragraphs" insert "22,".

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health and Social Security
(Mr. Ray Whitney)

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.

This is a technical amendment. Clause 29, which deals with commencement, states that any provisions not specifically listed there will be brought into force by commencement order. Paragraph 22 of schedule 5 is not listed, even though it will have retrospective effect from 1 January 1985. This is obviously inconsistent, and the amendment adds this provision to the list of those that will take effect on the day the Bill is enacted.

Question put and agreed to.
