Fraud (Trials without a Jury) Bill
10:30 am

John Bercow (Buckingham, Conservative)
Order. The Committee needs to be clear, as does the Chairman, as to whether the hon. Gentleman is formally tabling an amendment. At the moment, the only formal amendment tabled was tabled in manuscript form, perfectly legitimately, by the right hon. and learned Member for Sleaford and North Hykeham. If the hon. Gentleman wishes to table what effectively constitutes an amendment to an amendment, he needs to be clear and explicit about the precise terms of that proposed amendment to an amendment, with which, I think I am right in saying, the Committee would first deal, before coming to the amendment tabled by the right hon. and learned Member for Sleaford and North Hykeham.
