Part of the debate – in a Public Bill Committee am 11:30 am ar 9 Ionawr 2014.
Before I ask the Minister to move the motion to report written evidence, I should explain to Members that, because this is a Lords Bill, we are not starting with oral evidence sessions. We are expected to make use of the records of the oral evidence sessions that took place in the Lords. However, it is possible for public bodies to submit written evidence for consideration in the Commons’ proceedings—indeed some have done so. The purpose of this motion is for the Minister to get the Committee’s agreement that such evidence will be published.
