I, too, thank you, Miss Begg, for the way in which you have chaired this Committee. I found it a very useful debate, particularly this morning’s session. I hope that this innovation in Public Bill Committees will be taken up by all Members.

I would like to add to the point made by the hon. Member for South Holland and The Deepings. It would be useful to have a gap between sessions, because this morning’s opportunity to question witnesses changed the way in which I thought about the Bill. It was a good example of the way in which Members on both sides can contribute and ask pertinent questions. The Committee was able to move forward considerably from the point at which we started this morning.
