[Judith Cummins in the Chair]

Before we begin, I have a few announcements. I encourage Members to wear face coverings except when speaking or if they are exempt. That is in line with the Commission’s recommendations. Hansard colleagues would be extremely grateful if Members could email their speaking notes to hansardnotes@parliament.uk. Please remember to switch electronic devices to silent. Tea and coffee are not allowed during sittings. I also ask Members to declare any interests before we resume line-by-line consideration.

I wish to place on the record the fact that my wife works at a university.

I am an honorary fellow at Birkbeck College, University of London.

The same.

My partner works at the University of Hull on the degree apprenticeship programme.

I am a trustee at the University of Bradford union. I have received payment from the University of Sussex to provide educational opportunities, and I have received money from the University and College Union.

I am vice-chair of the all-party parliamentary group for friends of Durham University
