Policing and Crime Bill

Before I call Paul Holmes to speak on behalf of the Liberal Democrats, may I make the same observation that I made during the Programming Sub-Committee discussions? In its Tuesday and Thursday afternoon sittings, the Committee has the opportunity to sit rather longer than has become the custom. If there is a problem—if we are behind and there are issues that the Opposition parties want to debate at greater length—I remind Members that those sittings provide the opportunity for longer-than-normal debates. I urge Members to take advantage of that provision.
