Unless there is a great upsurge of interest in the technical nature of schedule 1, all that I intend to say is that Government amendment No. 57 is a minor technical amendment. If any Member is fascinated by why it is necessary, they can catch me afterwards.

Amendment agreed to.

Schedule 1 agreed to.

Further consideration adjourned.—[Mr. Heppell.]

Adjourned accordingly at five minutes past Six o’clock till Thursday 1 February at ten minutes past Nine o’clock.
