I beg to move,

That the Order of the Committee of 19 June 2012 be amended as follows:

(1) in paragraph (1)(i), for “10.30 am and 4.00 pm” substitute “9.00 am and 1.30 pm”;

(2) in paragraph (4), for “8.00 pm” substitute “5.30 pm”.

The programme order provides for this Public Bill Committee to meet at 10.30 am and 4 pm on Tuesday 17 July, but on Thursday 5 July the House of Commons ordered that the House will sit on Tuesday 17 July as if that day were a Wednesday. On Wednesdays, Committees do not sit between 11.25 am and 1.30 pm, and my motion will achieve that effect for this Committee. I hope that that makes sense.

Question put and agreed to.

The hours are set out as the first item on the amendment paper and, as the Minister has said, they will be our sitting times for next Tuesday.

We now return to the Bill. I remind Members that I do not intend to allow a separate debate on schedule 4, and that their contributions to the debate on amendment 83 must be relevant to that amendment.
