Company Law Reform Bill [HL]

My Lords, from these Benches I echo the point made by the noble Lord, Lord Hodgson. The Minister has been kind enough to explain the Government’s plans on consolidation to us and indeed to the Tory Opposition. We certainly do not intend to hold up the Bill’s passage by arguing the finer points of consolidation, unless those who advise us say there is some noticeable howler in it—which I am sure the Minister would take on board. Apart from that, I concur with the words of the noble Lord, Lord Hodgson.
