Clause 39 - Short title
Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Bill [Lords]
10:15 am
Mr Paul Goggins (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Home Office; Wythenshawe and Sale East, Labour)
I am pleased to respond. The question of recommittal is not for me; as the hon. Lady is aware, these issues are discussed in the usual channels.
We are content that, although some of the amendments came a little late in the day, the reasons why are clear. There has been straightforward agreement about the principle, and we have already tried this morning to get to grips with some of the detail. That can continue in the period up to Report. I do not think that anybody can argue that there is insufficient opportunity to discuss the detail. The question of recommittal is a matter for others.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 39, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
