Consideration of Bill, as amended in the Public Bill Committee

Hon. Members:

Object.

Who objected?

It is certainly not for me to identify who objected.

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. The hon. Member who objected may have been the Member who chaired the Committee, who is actually responsible for reporting the Bill to the House. This Bill has all-party agreement and considerable concessions were made in Committee. If the objection came from the person who chaired the Committee, I believe that that would be out of order.

No. I am afraid the hon. Member is misguided in assuming that.

Bill to be further considered on Thursday 18 March .
