Written evidence to be reported to the House
Housing and Regeneration Bill
10:58 am
Roger Gale (North Thanet, Conservative)
Mr. Day, I have been asked to ask our witnesses to speak up for the benefit of the Official Report, so perhaps you could do so. I heard you, but it was a little sotto voce.
Before calling a Member to ask the first questions, I remind all Members that they must limit their questions to matters that are within the scope of the Bill. I am afraid that I have to caution the witnesses that, under the terms of the programme motion agreed by the Committee this morning, I have to conclude this session of questioning at 11.45 am precisely, irrespective of the importance of what you are saying or whether you are in mid-sentence. Those are the courtesies under which we operate. Without further ado, Mr. Hurd.
