Representation of the People Bill House of Commons
00:09 - 02:04
Speaker 1
Order, order. Good morning. Would everyone ensure that all electronic devices are turned off or switched to silent mode? We will continue line by line scrutiny of the representation of the people bell. The selection list for today's sitting is available in the room and on the parliamentary website.
This shows how the clauses, schedules, and selected amendments have been grouped together for debate. A reminder that a member who has put their name to the lead amendment in a group is called first, or in the case of a stand apart debate, the minister will be called to speak first. Other members are then free to indicate they wish to speak, in the current debate by Bobbing. At the end of the debate on a group of amendments and new clauses and schedules, I shall call the member who moved the lead amendment or new clause again. Before they sit down, they will need to indicate if they wish to withdraw the amendment or the new clause or to seek a decision.
If any member wishes to press any other amendment, and this includes grouped new clauses and schedules in a group to a vote, then they need to let me know. The order of decisions follows the order in which amendments appear in the amendment paper. Finally, for your information that House's official photographer will be present during this morning's sitting, I hope you're all dressed in your best. In order to record the work of Hansard's colleague Hansard colleagues and to take some wide shots of the committee in action. Oh.
Hope no one hope no one has any objections. Objections. Okay. Then we'll get started. Group 40.
