That was a helpful and friendly way in which to start our proceedings. [Interruption.] I hope that that was not the sound of a pager. If it was, I hope that it is now switched to silent.
We were due to discuss amendment No. 104, but it seems that no hon. Member is ready to move it, so we shall move to the next amendment, which was scheduled for discussion at the same time. I want all hon. Members to realise that we are starting today's proceedings with amendment No. 105, with which it will be convenient to discuss amendment No. 106.
