Ms Angela Eagle (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Home Office; Wallasey, Labour)
I do not wish to detain the Committee. Some amendments were tabled later than we had hoped. That was not deliberate, but a matter of necessity. They concern a complex area of law, and
had to be right before they were tabled. I apologise to the Committee for their late arrival—it shows that it was wise that the Programming Sub-Committee agreed to my suggestion to have an extra day. We tabled them as quickly as possible for the convenience of the Committee but, regrettably, practicalities sometimes intervene.
