[Derek Conway in the Chair]

It is a warm day, so if hon. Members wish to remove their jackets, it will certainly be in order. I understand that it is hoped that the Committee will conclude consideration of the Bill at this sitting. Should that not prove possible, I shall invite Mr. Ottaway to move a sittings motion specifying the date and time of our next meeting before we adjourn. In the event of a second sitting, I do not intend to call starred amendments.

Before I call Mr. Knight to move the first amendment, I shall explain to the Committee that the proposed new subsection in the amendment is numbered ZA, but it should, of course, be 7ZA, which might help hon. Members to find the relevant part of the Bill.
