Mr Roger Gale (North Thanet, Conservative)
Order. Before we start, there are a couple of housekeeping matters. First, hon. Members who have not already done so may, while I am in the Chair, remove their jackets. I cannot speak for Mr. Benton, who will decide whether to afford the Committee the same concession.
Secondly, would hon. members please switch off their mobile phones when they take their seats? It would be helpful if they did not ring during our proceedings.
Thirdly, there is no timetable motion, but I am reliably informed that we may complete our proceedings in time to enjoy the summer. However, there is a sittings motion and I call the Minister to move it.
