Part of the debate – in a Public Bill Committee at 4:30 pm on 10 June 2009.
Good afternoon. Before we begin our consideration of the Bill, I have a preliminary announcement. Members may remove their outer garments to ensure more comfort if they wish. Will all Members please ensure that they are rigged for silent running, or switch their pagers and telephones off altogether, so that we do not have disturbances? There are no amendments to the Bill, so we will move straight to clause stand part debates on each clause, if the Committee wishes to debate them at all.
