My Lords, I beg to move that the House do concur with the Commons in their Amendment No. 10.

This subsection was introduced as a privilege amendment when the Bill was previously before this House. It reflected the fact that it was beyond the scope of noble Lords' powers to impose or vary charges on people or on public funds. The Government's amendment in another place to remove the clause was in recognition that no such constraint applied there. The amendment was purely a matter of form.
