Indeed.
The funeral of our late colleague, Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody, is being held a little later today. My fellow Chairman, Mr. Frank Cook, therefore intends to take the Chair not as would be normal at 1 pm but at 1.30 pm. I understand that at the end of its second sitting the Committee clearly expressed the wish and will to meet at that time.
We now move to our real business. I call the Minister, who has a smile on her face, to move Government amendment No. 53.
