Hansard colleagues would be grateful if Members could email their speaking notes to
hansardnotes@parliament.uk. If you wish to speak today, I encourage you to bob to catch my eye, like you would in the Chamber. My selection and groupings for today’s meeting is available online and in the room. No amendments have been tabled. We will have a single debate on both clauses.
