On a point of order, Mr. Amess. I am curious as to why schedule 8 was selected at this point in the proceedings and not at a later stage, because it is the final schedule of the Bill. I am sorry that the usual

Clerk is not here to guide you, but I know that the Clerk who is here today is one of the finest, and I am sure that he will be able to help.

Our regular Clerk will be returning at 4 o'clock, but I am advised that we agreed on 16 October that that should be the order in which these matters should be taken.

Schedule 8, as amended, agreed to.
