Lord Atkinson
My Lords, I have had the pleasure and advantage of reading the judgment which has just been delivered by my noble and learned friend Lord Finlay. I have not only had that advantage but I have had the advantage of having discussed with him before he wrote the judgment the lines on which he intended to write it. I thoroughly concur with it and I have nothing to add.
