Order.  Order.  Cheltenham Borough Council markets bill.  Good afternoon.  My name is Nusrat Gharney. 

I am the chairman of Ways and Means, and I'm chairing today's unopposed bill committee.  With me on the committee today are Stuart Anderson, Edward Arger, Neil Duncan Jordan, and Chris Vins.  We are here to consider the Chattanooga Borough Council markets bill, which was deposited on November 2025 and introduced into the House of Commons in January 2026.  It received its second reading in February, and as no petitions were received against the bill, the next stage of proceedings is today's unopposed bill committee.  The promoter of the bill, Chatham Borough Council, is represented here by Emma. 

Is it pronounced Emma?  Emer.  Emer.  Emir Thomas of Sharp Pritchard LLP, the parliamentary agent for the promoter.  He is accompanied by witnesses on behalf of the promoter who will I now will ask to introduce themselves for the records.
