I beg to move,

That, in the Programming Order of the Committee of 13 November 2001, the Table be further amended as follows—

(1) in the second column in respect of the 34th sitting by leaving out the words there printed and inserting ''Part 8'';

(2) in the third column in respect of the 34th sitting by leaving out ''1 p.m.'';

(3) for the second and third columns in respect of the 35th sitting substitute—

As you are aware, Mr. O'Brien, the Programming Sub-Committee met earlier this morning. A draft resolution has been agreed by representatives of the three political parties in Committee, which pushes back the knife that is due to fall on our deliberations at lunchtime to 6 pm, so that we can continue to discuss part 8 until 6 pm, thus, leaving one and a half hours to discuss part 9.

Mr. David Wilshire (Spelthorne): We are grateful for this opportunity to give the Bill better consideration than it would otherwise have had.

Question put and agreed to.

We shall now continue our consideration of the Bill.

Clause 330 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
