I welcome you to the Chair, Mr. Amess, on this my first outing on the Bill. I look forward to considering the clauses that fall under my remit.
Before we finished on Tuesday, the hon. Members for Wycombe and for Falmouth and Camborne raised questions about the clause and asked for an explanation of why it is in the Bill.
