Company Law Reform Bill [HL]

My Lords, in a Bill of this complexity where we are trying to find a way through some very complicated issues, that would be the way that we would approach it—we would not invoke anything that would stop further amendments at that stage. Obviously, when we agree to consider something, we think that it is necessary to do something to find a way through an issue. I hope that we will be able to provide something that is satisfactory to the noble Lord, Lord Hodgson, but should he not be satisfied we would not invoke something that said that he could not table an amendment.
