Political Parties and Elections Bill

Alan Reid (Shadow Minister, Scottish and Northern Ireland Affairs; Argyll and Bute, Liberal Democrat)
I welcome you to the Chair this morning, Mr. Cook. I have one point about the programme motion, echoing what has just been said. If, following the evidence sitting on the Thursday, we have only a few hours or, if the House rises early, no time at all to submit amendments, I ask you and your fellow Chairs, Mr. Cook, to take cognisance of that and perhaps accept starred amendments, if they arise as a result of evidence that we take on the Thursday and they ought to be debated on the following Tuesday.
