The Minister knows that the Law Commission's original proposals were cherry-picked by the Government. They decided not to adopt the commission's proposals for the categories of murder 1 and murder 2. I say again to the Minister that my understanding is that, at a meeting that took place—certainly not under Chatham House rules—between the Government, their advisers and the Opposition in the Lords, the representative of the Law Commission publicly urged the Government to desist from this course of action.

1. Have a quick scan of the speech under the video, then press “Play”.
2. When you hear the start of that speech, press “Now!”.
3. The timestamped video will then appear on TheyWorkForYou – thanks from everyone who uses the site :)

Some videos will be miles out – if you can't find the right point, don't worry, just try another speech!

• Sign in if you want to get on the Top Timestampers league table!
• If the video suddenly jumps a couple of hours, or otherwise appears broken, let us know.
• If the speech you're looking for is beyond the end of the video, move on to the next video chunk.
• If you're right at the start of a day, it's quite possible the start of the video will be the end of the previous programme on BBC Parliament, skip ahead some minutes to check :)
• Hansard is not a verbatim transcript, so spoken words might differ slightly from the printed version. And a small note – if the speech you are looking out for is an oral question (questions asked in the first hour or so of Monday–Thursdays in the Commons), then all the MP will actually say is their question number, e.g. “Number Two”.
• The skip buttons move in 30 second increments (you can go back before the start point), and you can access a slider by hovering over the video.
