Question proposed, that the clause stand part of the Bill.

The hon. Member for East Worthing and Shoreham tried to throw me off my stride by not moving an amendment, but he failed.

The clause should not stand part of the Bill because, as I explained earlier, where the protected information concerns an adult, we intend to go through the process in new clause 7 and where it concerns a child, we shall go through the process in new clause 8.

I want to check that new clauses 7 and 8 will end up as clauses 59 and 60.

The hon. Gentleman is really getting to the heart of the issues this afternoon. The answer is that I do not know—it will depend where the new clauses fit into the Bill. I assure him that he will get to see the amended Bill before Report stage, when it will become clear what numbers the various new clauses have. I am sorry that I cannot provide that information now.

Question put and negatived.
