Lords ChamberMy Lords, we were happy to try and continue a bit further to reach the target amendment. My noble friends are nodding in agreement. Perhaps it is not too late.
My Lords, I know that it is unusual for the noble Lord to put such a matter. I certainly am content to accept that offer, but I do not wish in any way to make the House feel that it is being overworked. I am looking carefully at the opposition Front Bench and I see the noble Lord, Lord McAvoy, giving his consent. Perhaps I may check with my noble friend the Minister. We are all aware of the other side of the coin of that offer, to which I have no objection whatever. It is a perfectly normal way for an Opposition to behave and I certainly recognise it as such. It is a generous offer met in generous spirit. Perhaps we may continue.
I beg leave to withdraw my Motion to adjourn further consideration on Report.
Motion withdrawn.
Schedule 1 : Universal credit: supplementary regulation-making powers
Amendment 32
My Lords, let me try again: I beg to move that further consideration on Report be now adjourned.
Consideration on Report adjourned.
