Housing Bill
9:30 am
Mr John Hayes (South Holland and The Deepings, Conservative)
I rise to correct an omission. I made the comment that the Minister mentioned, but I did not thank him for the time that he spent with members of this Committee in advance of its meeting to ensure that we were well briefed on these complex, as he describes them—some might say byzantine—matters. His help has been well received by all. I hope that it signals the way in which we will proceed during our consideration of the Bill. I just wanted to put that on the record, as I had not done so in my opening remarks. I am grateful to the right hon. Gentleman.
Question put and agreed to.
Resolved,
That—
(1) during proceedings on the Housing Bill the Standing Committee shall meet when the House is sitting on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9.10 a.m. and 2.30 p.m;
(2) 18 sittings in all shall be allotted to the consideration of the Bill by the Committee;
(3) the proceedings shall be taken in the order shown in the Table below and shall (so far as not previously concluded) be brought to a conclusion at the time specified in the second column of the Table.
