Mr Roger Gale (North Thanet, Conservative)
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome back from the break. I trust you are all refreshed.
I have one housekeeping notice. While I am in the Chair, hon. Members may, if they wish to do so for their comfort, remove their jackets. I cannot speak for Sir Nicholas Winterton or Mr. McWilliam on that point. They will have to exercise their own judgment on your behalf.
