Malvern Hills Bill [HL] Committee House of Lords
00:06 - 02:05
Speaker 1
Good morning, and welcome to this, the fourteenth day of the Malvern Hills Bill Select Committee. Can I mention one or two matters of detail before we get into the the hearing itself? First of all, I'd be grateful if anybody has a mobile phone with them. I'm quite sure that the phones are turned off so that we're not disturbed by them ringing in the course of the presentation of the evidence. Secondly, fire precautions.
In this place, we do not have bells. What we have is a two tone siren which is followed by tape messages telling people what to do. If evacuation is necessary, please follow the instructions of the clerk and don't waste time by trying to bring your papers with you. The idea is to clear the room as quickly as possible. Anyone who happens to be out in the corridor at the time should simply look for a security officer and follow instructions.
As I said earlier on, the proceedings are being broadcast and a full transcript will be taken. And it would be grateful or we would be grateful if you would examine the transcript when it's available and draw our attention to any errors you think have crept into it, that your presentation has not been correctly recorded. If we have to go into private session, we will ask you to clear the room so that we can discuss matters in private. But I think that's unlikely to happen this morning, so we'll be able to proceed straight away. But before I go any further, miss Leedon, we're very much against the pressure of time.
We haven't covered nearly all the clauses that are supposed to be covered. What I suggest is that you concentrate particularly on the bits that require the presentation from your witnesses, and we may come back to other clauses if there's time later on, but it's very important we get full value from your witnesses. So we're in your hands as to how you organize your time.
