That will be very welcome news. As I said, I was alerted to this problem after the time for tabling amendments had expired.

What we have seen this week and saw in the weeks running up to Christmas shows the scale of the challenge that we face. I welcome the all-party approach that we have seen across the House today and in Committee, which I was not at liberty to participate in. That is a very good basis on which the Bill can go forward from this House, and I commend it to its future stages.

Question put and agreed to.

Bill accordingly read the Third time and passed.
