Part of State Pension Credit Bill [Lords] – in a Public Bill Committee at 4:00 pm on 25 April 2002.
I thank the Minister of State and hon. Members for their kind words. On behalf of my co-Chairman, the hon. Member for Bridgend (Mr. Griffiths), may I say that it has been a pleasure to chair the Committee, which has been good natured and constructive. It has been as good an example of a constructive Committee as one could have hoped to find. The Bill is complex, extensive and important, and has been dealt with expediently, efficiently, and with clarity and good humour. I am impressed by the Minister's and the Opposition's command of a detailed and difficult subject.
Bill, as amended, to be reported.
Committee rose at fifteen minutes past Four o'clock.
