I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.

This Amendment will add another paragraph to the rule-making power under subsection (2) of Clause 22. In effect the new paragraph will allow for rules to be made to provide for the grouping or consolidation of applications before the Court. Those hon. Members who are familiar with the practice of the courts will appreciate that consolidation of actions is provided for in the ordinary way in the High Court, and this is really following that procedure, and will save the time of the Court and enable it to look at restrictive practices in any particular industry a little more in the round.
