I have a few preliminary reminders: please no food or drink; switch your electronic devices to silent; and Hansard colleagues always appreciate having your notes emailed to them.
My selection and grouping list for today’s sitting is available online and in the room. As you can see for yourselves, no amendments have been tabled. We therefore have a single debate on all the clauses.
As a bill passes through Parliament, MPs and peers may suggest amendments - or changes - which they believe will improve the quality of the legislation.
Many hundreds of amendments are proposed by members to major bills as they pass through committee stage, report stage and third reading in both Houses of Parliament.
In the end only a handful of amendments will be incorporated into any bill.
The Speaker - or the chairman in the case of standing committees - has the power to select which amendments should be debated.
