Richard Caborn (Minister of State (Sport), Department for Culture, Media & Sport; Sheffield Central, Labour)
I set off on the Committee on the wrong foot by not welcoming you, Mr. Hood, and your co-Chair, Mr. Amess. The Committee has been extremely well chaired throughout. You have had a sense of humour and you have allowed us enough latitude to make the experience rather enjoyable. I hope that the outside world recognises the unanimity of purpose that has existed in relation to the Bill in order to ensure that we make 2012 a huge success for the whole country. To a large extent, that is what the Bill has been about. I thank all the Clerks and everybody who has been associated with the manner in which the Committee has been conducted. We can be pleased with our work and I hope that it will be a very good piece of legislation, with few amendments made. I thank everybody for their support in getting the Bill through Committee—two days before it was scheduled to finish.
Jimmy Hood (Lanark & Hamilton East, Labour)
Thank you, Minister. On behalf of Mr. Amess and myself, I should say that we appreciated those kind words. It was kind of you to mention the staff as well. It has been a brief, but very important, Bill. I am sure that everybody enjoyed the experience, including the two Chairmen.
