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

I would ask the hon. Gentleman this question. Would it not have been very helpful to have drawn our attention to this earlier? I very much regret that he did not draw our attention to it earlier, for if he had we should have been quite ready to rectify the omission.

Question put and agreed to.
