The hon. Gentleman makes some interesting points. I am grateful to the Minister for having undertaken to reconsider the matter, and I will be happy to withdraw the amendment.

I hope that the Minister will be able to satisfy us on the matter before Report, as otherwise I should feel constrained to reintroduce amendments Nos. 550 and 555, but probably not No. 560, as that is how my mind has been working in the light of what I have heard. I would not want the Bill to go to the other place and to

feel that I had not dealt with the matter by default. However, if the Minister will consider the matter, I am happy to beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.

Amendment made: No. 474, in page 195, line 10, leave out 'may' and insert 'does'.—[Mr. Bob Ainsworth.]

Clause 337, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Clauses 338 to 340 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
