[Dame Siobhain McDonagh in the Chair]

Before we begin, I have some killjoy preliminary reminders for the Committee. Please switch electronic devices to silent. No food or drinks are permitted during sittings of the Committee, except the water provided. Hansard colleagues will be grateful if Members email their speaking notes to hansardnotes@parliament.uk.

On to business, my selection and grouping list for today’s sitting is available online and in the room. No amendments have been tabled. We will have a single debate on all three clauses of the Bill.
