Energy Bill [Lords]

– in a Public Bill Committee at 12:00 am on 26 January 2016.

Alert me about debates like this

[Mr Adrian Bailey in the Chair]

Before we begin consideration of the Bill, I have a few preliminary announcements, as I recognise that it may be the first Public Bill Committee for a number of Members. First, please switch electronic devices to silent—I will just check that I am doing as I instruct. Tea and coffee are not allowed in the room during sittings.

Today, we will first consider the programme motion on the amendment paper and a motion to enable the reporting of written evidence for publication. Then we will begin line-by-line consideration of the Bill. In view of the time available, I hope we can take those motions formally without debate.

Ordered,

That—

(1) the Committee shall (in addition to its first meeting at 9.25 am on Tuesday 26 January) meet—

(a) at 2.00 pm on Tuesday 26 January;

(b) at 11.30 am and 2.00 pm on Thursday 28 January;

(c) at 9.25 am and 2.00 pm on Tuesday 2 February;

(d) at 11.30 am and 2.00 pm on Thursday 4 February;

(e) at 9.25 am and 2.00 pm on Tuesday 9 February;

(2) the proceedings shall be taken in the following order: Clauses 1 and 2; Schedule 1; Clauses 3 to 73; Schedule 2; Clauses 74 to 84; new Clauses; new Schedules; remaining proceedings on the Bill;

(3) the proceedings shall (so far as not previously concluded) be brought to a conclusion at 5.00 pm on Tuesday 9 February.

Resolved,

That subject to the discretion of the Chair, any written evidence received by the Committee shall be reported to the House for publication.—(Andrea Leadsom.)

Copies of written evidence that the Committee receives will be made available in the Committee Room.
