Part of Criminal Justice and Police Bill – in a Public Bill Committee at 5:00 pm on 8th March 2001.
As I indicated earlier, I intend to suspend the Committee. It might be convenient for hon. Members if I remind them that, later in the proceedings, we will come to a significant number of potential Divisions. At that point, I shall ask for the doors to be locked, and I shall not have the doors unlocked until the voting has been completed. I am telling hon. Members now that, at the start of the sequence of Divisions at 7 o'clock, they will have one chance to get into the Committee Room. If you're out, you're out.
The Committee is suspended until 5.20 pm.
Sitting suspended.
On resuming—
