Waste and Emissions Trading Bill [Lords]
8:55 am
Mr John Hayes (South Holland and The Deepings, Conservative)
Further to that point of order, Mr. Griffiths. First, I thank the Minister for his typical courtesy in drawing those matters to the attention of the Committee. It would be helpful if that sort of information could be included in the explanatory notes. Before raising the matter this morning, I checked the availability of the regulatory impact assessment with the Clerk of the Committee—he will no doubt confirm it—and received the assurance that it was not available. However, there was some uncertainty and confusion—for the sake of brevity I put it no more strongly than that. I am grateful for the Minister's courtesy, but this matter could provide a useful lesson.
Secondly, Mr. Griffiths, I ask whether the blinds can be lowered as I am suffering considerable discomfort because of the bright sunlight.
