NHS Redress Bill [Lords]
10:30 am
Anne Begg (Aberdeen South, Labour)
I remind the Committee that there is a money resolution in connection with this Bill, copies of which are available in the room. I should also like to remind Members that adequate notice should be given of amendments. As a general rule, my co-Chairman and I do not intend to call starred amendments. Please will all Members ensure that mobile phones, pagers and so on are turned off or in silent mode during our sittings. It will be in order for hon. Gentlemen and hon. Ladies to remove their jackets if they so wish. I was going to be cruel and make them sweat through the summer months. It is a bit cooler today, but I suspect that it will get quite warm. The debate on the programme motion may continue for up to half an hour. I call the Minister.
