Yes, spoilsport I may be, but on the basis of the debate that we had about the issue itself, the proper thing is to withdraw my amendment which I intend to do. However, I give the noble Lord just one last chance. Why not just say he is sorry for what he said about an individual Member of Parliament? His criticism has been heard. Why not withdraw it now? I beg leave to withdraw.

Amendment 40 withdrawn.

Amendment 40A

Moved by Lord McNally

40A: Clause 7, page 5, line 34, at end insert-

""registration officer" has the meaning given in section 8 of the 1983 Act;"
