Clause 1 - Meaning of ``residential property''and other expressions
Homes Bill
11:00 am
Mr Nigel Waterson (Eastbourne, Conservative)
I hope that I will have similar success in persuading the Minister to do my bidding as the Committee stage progresses, but something tells me that will not be the case. We are grateful to our right hon. Friend the Member for Skipton and Ripon (Mr. Curry) for making our deliberations more comfortable.
I assume, Mr. Gale, that you wish to follow previous practice and that, if you allow a wide-ranging debate on amendments to a clause, we may do without a clause stand part debate at the end. I also assume that it will be helpful if I flag up the approach that I propose to adopt as we come to such amendments and clauses rather than have anyone—least of all yourself—taken by surprise when we reach the end of a group of amendments.
