Further written evidence to be reported to the House
Counter-Terrorism Bill
9:00 am
John Bercow (Buckingham, Conservative)
If hon. Members will forgive me, I would like to offer a response to the various points of order. My view is that corrections issued to members of the Committee should be timely, gracious and of good quality. This correction satisfies none of those criteria. However, it is not of itself disorderly. The hon. Member for Somerton and Frome was anxious that his concerns and those of other hon. Members should be recorded and they have been: they will be in the Official Report of the proceedings of this Committee. I hope that Members will accept that I have given a very clear response. We have pressures of time and important matters to consider. I would like now to proceed with the further business of the Committee. I therefore call the Minister.
