Welfare Reform Bill
10:30 am
Jim Murphy (Minister of State (Work), Department for Work and Pensions; East Renfrewshire, Labour)
We will leave that till the end of our proceedings.
Through the wise counsel and advice of the Whip, the Vice-Chamberlain of Her Majesty’s Household, my hon. Friend the Member for Nottingham, East (Mr. Heppell), the Programming Sub-Committee has agreed to 16 sittings without knives or guillotines, on the basis that the Committee will find its own way through our proceedings. If we do not make the necessary progress, he reserves the right to recall the Programming Sub-Committee to introduce knives and guillotines, which all of us would rather do without, judging from the way that we have progressed thus far.
