Police and Justice Bill
9:00 am
Derek Conway (Old Bexley and Sidcup, Conservative)
Before we start the formal proceedings, let me wish everyone good morning. I am sorry that things are a little cramped, but as colleagues will know, Westminster Hall debates are currently being held in Room 10, which means that we must meet in these rather grand circumstances.
I remind the Committee that there is a money resolution in connection with the Bill. Copies are available on the table in front of us, as well as behind us, for those who find that more convenient. I also remind Members that adequate notice should be given of amendments. As a general rule, my co-Chairman, Greg Pope, and I do not intend to call starred amendments.
