Mr Peter Pike (Burnley, Labour)

I draw the Committee's attention to the fact that we made fairly slow progress this morning. Obviously, as I have said, the Chair cannot determine the important issues, given that all issues are deemed to be important. However, I am sure that the Committee is mindful of the fact that we must reach at the end of today's proceedings the point set out under the programme order that was agreed at our first sitting. I hope that I have been useful and have focused minds on making sensible progress.Clause 68 Designations under section 67: further considerations
