Malvern Hills Bill [HL] Committee House of Lords
00:06 - 01:49
Speaker 1
Good morning, and welcome to this, the seventeenth meeting of the select committee on the Morven Hills bill. Before we begin our session, there are one or two practical arrangements I have to draw to your attention. First of all, with those who have mobile phones, be sure that they're on silent so that we're not interrupted by extraneous noises. And anybody in the room behind the witnesses should be careful not to speak to distract them from what they're trying to say. Then the question of fire alarm.
We don't have a bell in this in this building. We have instead a a system of two tones sirens followed by a series of taped messages. Should the the sirens the the siren occur and an eviction is needed, please follow the directions of the clerk as to where to go, and don't waste time by gathering up your papers because that that might create a risk for yourselves. As these proceedings are being broadcast, I should mention that a full transcript is being taken, and I encourage you to look at the transcript when it comes out to check that your evidence has been or statements have been correctly recorded. If there are any any things you would like to check, please let us know and we will make sure that the Hansen record is corrected.
Now I think, mister Fowler, it's for you to introduce your position on behalf of those who are with you. And we have mister Fowler's online as well. And, miss Lin, you would then reply. Is there anything you need to say before we start?

Speaker 2
Indeed, my lord. I'm forgive me. I'm afraid we've been handed a clip of documents just as we were walking into committee. And I'm afraid I'm in a position of having to ask if I could have perhaps ten minutes so I can actually look through those documents and take instructions on them because I noticed, for example, there's reference to a legal opinion that appears in there and I do need to perhaps check with my clients whether this might be something that's come from the trust's archives and if so any privilege that might attach to it. So if I could just ask for a short adjournment for me to look at these documents and take any instructions in that regard, I'd be grateful.
