I am slightly worried about the Money Resolution. I usually find that these Resolutions are drawn in such narrow terms that I am precluded from doing in Committee what I want to do. On this occasion I have two simple questions for my hon. Friend.

First, will the passing of this Resolution preclude the reduction of the £550 million? Will it be in order for me to table an Amendment to that effect, and, secondly, will it be in order for us to discuss the purposes for which the money should be spent? In particular, will it be in order to discuss the reasons for suggesting any particular reduction?
