LORDS AMENDMENT
28Clause 41, page 27, line 25, at end insert
("( ) No approval of a transfer scheme shall be made under subsection (2) before the first Session of the next Parliament after that in which this Act is passed.")
The Commons disagreed to this amendment for the following reason--
28ABecause the effect of the amendment would be to delay unjustifiably the setting up of a public-private partnership in respect of air traffic services.
Lord Macdonald of Tradeston: My Lords, I beg to move that the House do not insist on their Amendment No. 28 to which the Commons have disagreed for their reason numbered 28A. I spoke to this Motion when dealing with Lords Amendment No. 27.
Moved, That the House do not insist on their Amendment No. 28 to which the Commons have disagreed for their reason numbered 28A.--(Lord Macdonald of Tradeston.)
Lord Brabazon of Tara: My Lords, I beg to move Amendment No. 28B, as an amendment to the Motion that the House do not insist on their Amendment No. 28 to which the Commons have disagreed for their reason numbered 28A, leave out "not".
Moved, as an amendment to the Motion that the House do not insist on their Amendment No. 28 to which the Commons have disagreed for their reason numbered 28A, leave out "not".--(Lord Brabazon of Tara.)
On Question, Amendment No. 28B agreed to.
Earl Ferrers: My Lords, perhaps I may ask the Leader of the House on a point of order whether it is correct for the Captain of the Gentlemen-at-Arms to sit at the Clerk's table and conduct the Labour Peers as if he was conducting an orchestra?
Lord Carter: My Lords, there are times when the Benches opposite resemble Monty Python's Flying Circus. I am sitting here because there is no room on the Front Bench. I want to get to the Dispatch Box to explain to the House that the whole of the group of amendments in regard to the deferment have been won by the Opposition. It would be easier if we got on with it.
