[Martin Vickers in the Chair]

Before we begin, I have a few preliminary reminders for members of the Committee. Please switch electronic devices to silent. No food or drinks are permitted during sittings of the Committee, except for the water provided. Hansard colleagues would be grateful if Members could email their speaking notes to hansardnotes@ parliament.uk. My selection and grouping for today’s sitting is available online and in the room; there will be a single debate on clauses 1 and 2.
