Clause 94 - Power to deal with urgent cases
Communications Bill
11:15 am
Mr Peter Atkinson (Hexham, Conservative)
I shall mention some housekeeping arrangements for when we get back with regard to the tabling of amendments. Amendments can be tabled up to the rising of the House today, and they will be published on the blue papers on Friday 20 December. Amendments may be tabled on any working day during the Christmas recess. On Friday 3 January the Public Bill Office will open until 4.30 pm, and any amendments tabled after that time will be sent for publication in the blue papers on Monday 6 January. Any amendments tabled up to 4.30 pm on Friday 3 January will appear unstarred on Tuesday 7 January, and will therefore be eligible for selection at that day's meeting of the Committee. The Public Bill Office will open on Monday 6 January, but amendments tabled then will not be eligible for selection on Tuesday 7 January.
Finally, I remind members of the Committee that we reconvene on Tuesday 7 January. With Tuesday
being a Monday in the weird world of Parliament, we will start at 4.30 pm as opposed to 2.30 pm. Merry Christmas!
It being twenty-five minutes past Eleven o'clock, The Chairman adjourned the Committee without Question put, pursuant to the Standing Order.
Adjourned till Tuesday 7 January 2003 at half-past Four o'clock.
