Opening Speech:

My Lords,

Part (3) of the act I am today proposing we repeal has already been repealed here and the only remaining actual provision in section 2 has since also been introduced by this bill. Thus it is an entirely redundant and useless piece of legislation. We should get rid of it.

This division ends on Monday 17th May at 10pm BST.
