I wish all members of the Committee, and the staff of the House, a happy Christmas and a peaceful and healthy new year. I remind hon. Members that we shall sit again on 8 January 2002, in the afternoon only.

May I ask you to use your good offices to make arrangements for better heating in this Room, so that we can all see the Bill through to the bitter end, Mr. Gale? Otherwise I will be forced to spend the holidays gathering peat.

The point is well taken. I will see what I can do.

Further consideration adjourned.—[Mrs. McGuire.]

Adjourned accordingly at one minute past Seven o'clock till Tuesday 8 January 2002 at half-past Four o'clock.
