Communications Bill
Public Bill Committees, 10 December 2002
Mr Peter Atkinson (Hexham, Conservative)
I share my co-Chairman's ruling about jackets. Members of the Committee are welcome to take them off without asking the Chair.
Mr Andrew Lansley (South Cambridgeshire, Conservative)
On a point of order, Mr. Atkinson. May I interrupt myself, as it were? This morning we were discussing the clauses on the use of the radio spectrum as well as the current inquiry and pre-legislative scrutiny of the Select Committee on Trade and Industry of those clauses. May I secure your agreement to tell this Committee that the Select Committee intends to report its findings next week? Any issues arising from it can be discussed on 9 January and amendments that may be considered appropriate can be tabled and debated at that sitting.
Mr Peter Atkinson (Hexham, Conservative)
Thank you. That was not a point of order for the Chair, but I am sure that the Committee is grateful for such information.Clause 3 General duties of Ofcom
