Schedule 1 - Category 1 and 2 Responders
Civil Contingencies Bill
5:00 pm
Mr Douglas Alexander (Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Cabinet Office; Paisley South, Labour)
I am happy to concede the point. That may be a lacuna that we need to address. Given the complexity of drafting in that area, where matters need to be resolved not only by ourselves but with the Scottish Executive and others, I will ensure that, if the
lacuna that the hon. Gentleman has identified exists, I will take it back and discuss it with officials after today's committee. I will ensure that suitable technical amendments are proposed at a later stage to address the point.
Question put and agreed to.
Schedule 1, as amended, agreed to.
Further consideration adjourned.–[Ms Prentice.]
Adjourned accordingly at eight minutes past Five o'clock till Tuesday 3 February at half-past Nine o'clock.
