4 p.m.

Lord Belstead: My Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 14 and their consequential amend- ments and, if I may speak to them, Amendments Nos. 15 to 105, 109 to 117, No. 120, No. 121 and No. 122. All these amendments follow from the amendment which was moved by my noble friend Lord Geddes on Third Reading to change one of the references to citizenship of the British dependent territories in the Bill to "British dependent territories' citizenship ". Once that amendment had been agreed by your Lordships' House-and it was agreed it was 'clearly desirable to change all other references to citizens or citizenship of the British dependent territories in the Bill to bring them into line.

39

Your Lordships will recall that I had my doubts about the feasibility of this course at so late a stage of the Bill. Accordingly, I suggested that it might be necessary to insert a provision which would have ensured that the term "citizen of the British dependent territories and British dependent territories' citizen were interchangeable. I cannot say that I was thanked for that particular suggestion or, perhaps to put it in parliamentary language, many of your Lordships expressed concern about it.

66

I am very glad to be able to say that on looking at this again, we have found it feasible to change all the references and that is what these amendments do. I think I had better end on that and then, if I may stand up again, there is the question of apostrophes which come in. I should like to collect my thoughts.

Moved, That this House doth agree with the Com.nons in their consequential Amendments Nos. 14 to 98.- (Lord Belstead.)

Lord Elwyn-Jones: My Lords, we on this side of the House warmly welcome what has been done by the Government and the industry which must necessarily have been applied; although I remember the noble Lord, Lord Geddes, saying that he had it already prepared. In any event, it is the case that the proposal
