European Union (Amendment) Bill

I will give way to the hon. Gentleman, but I urge patience. I realise that amendment No. 39 relates to subsection (5), but it is important to discuss subsection (4), because subsection (5) concerns the exercise of powers granted under subsection (4). The second half qualifies the first half of subsection (4). The first half gives power to the Secretary of State or the Treasury; the second half specifies that over which the power may be exercised, just as subsection (5) specifies the way in which the power may be exercised. One has to read clause 3(4) completely to see that the second half—"““to reflect changes in terminology or numbering arising out of the Treaty of Lisbon””—" in a sense qualifies the first.
