Part of the debate – in a Public Bill Committee at 1:00 pm on 28th February 2008.
Before we resume consideration, I would like to remind everybody present in the strongest possible terms that civil servants and members of the public seated in the Public Gallery must remain silent while the Committee is sitting. If they do not remain silent, I shall have to direct that they be removed. I strongly deprecate the events of this morning, when I understand that voices were heard from the Public Gallery while I was collecting the voices on the question that clause 71 stand part of the Bill. Such misconduct by members of the public is disorderly.
