I welcome you to the Chair, Mr. Benton, and members of the Committee to our proceedings. I understand that there have been extensive discussions between all three parties. I am not sure whether the hon. Member for North Down (Lady Hermon) was included in them, but I hope that she will go along with the consensus that has been reached about how we divide our time to enable us properly to scrutinise the Bill. I wish to repeat the assurance given to me by my hon. Friend the Member for Nottingham, East (Mr. Heppell) that, if we have difficulty about how time has been allocated, we will consider appropriate changes to be made to accommodate the Committee and give it the maximum ability to scrutinise the Bill.
