Other representations made during
the period for parliamentary consideration
5. The House has also instructed us to consider
the extent to which the Minister concerned has had regard to "any
other representations made during the period for parliamentary
consideration."[8]
The Department did not receive any further written representations.
It did, however, receive oral representations from various representative
organisations within the hospitality and leisure industry, expressing
support for the proposal and urging the Government to pursue it
notwithstanding the difficulties of timing.[9]
Those representations should be satisfied by the laying of this
draft order and, we hope, its prompt approval by both Houses.
Report under Standing Order No.
141
6. We recommend unanimously that the draft
order should be approved.
