New Schedule 2 - Discharge of fines by unpaid work
Courts Bill [Lords]
11:15 am
Mr Bill O'Brien (Normanton, Labour)
I shall certainly pass on the comments that have been made to the hon. Member for Barnsley, Central (Mr. Illsley). I have found it a pleasure to be in the Chair listening to the debate. The Bill will be of tremendous value to our communities, and of interest to a lot of people who will have to rely on it. My job has been relatively easy because of the conduct of all of the parties. I commend all people concerned for discussing the business before the Committee, and not straying on to other issues.
I thank Mr. Sandall for his guidance and help in ensuring that the business has been dealt with in the correct order and manner. I also thank the Hansard writers both for keeping a record and producing it at such speed. That helps hon. Members to reflect on previous business. I thank every
Committee member for their full co-operation and the assistance that they have given to the Chair during proceedings.
Bill, as amended, to be reported.
Committee rose at Twenty-two minutes past Eleven o'clock.
