[Lord Strathclyde]

That leave be given to advance the Report stage of the Academies Bill [HL] from 7 July to 6 July.

[The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (Lord Strathclyde)]

My Lords, it may be helpful if I explain that, following constructive discussions among the usual channels, it has been agreed that it may be for the convenience of the House to make more time available for the Report stage of the Academies Bill on Tuesday 6 July, in addition to the time already set aside on Wednesday 7 July. I am also grateful to my noble friend Lord Goodlad and to the noble Baroness, Lady Cohen of Pimlico, for their co-operation.

Motion agreed.
