Ms Dawn Primarolo (Paymaster General, HM Treasury; Bristol South, Labour)
Good morning, Mr. Butterfill. I am delighted to see you in the Chair this morning, and to see you looking so well.
First, I must apologise to the hon. Members for Hertford and Stortford (Mr. Prisk) and for North Norfolk (Norman Lamb). I understand that they did not receive their copies of the draft regulations until this morning, although we tried to get them to all members of the Committee by yesterday afternoon. None the less, I hope that the information in them will assist the hon. Gentlemen in debating the Bill, although they will not have had time to study them for this morning's sitting.
