[Mr Christopher Chope in the Chair]

I beg to move,

That the Order of the Committee of 23 November 2016 be amended, by inserting at the end—

“except on 14 December when the Committee will meet at 10.00 am.”

Let me explain, for the benefit of the Committee, that we intend to proceed as much as possible by consensus. I have had a request on behalf of three members of the Committee who will be visiting Berlin with the Communities and Local Government Committee. They will be travelling back that day, so we will meet slightly later to allow them to attend this Committee and play a full part in proceedings.

Question put and agreed to.
