Lords amendment: No. 18, in page 43, line 34, leave out from ("prescribed") to ("and") in line 35.

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

With this it will be convenient to consider Lords amendment No. 19.

These are technical amendments to improve the drafting of the Bill. Clause 115 provides that prescription under the Bill will be by regulations made by the Secretary of State. That renders unnecessary two references in clause 65(6) to prescription by regulation. Amendments Nos. 18 and 19 therefore remove the superfluous words.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords amendments agreed to, some with Special entry.
