HC Deb 19 July 2004 vol 424 c40

1. Paragraphs 4 and 5 (proceedings on consideration and Third Reading) shall be omitted.

2. Proceedings on consideration and Third Reading shall (so far as not previously concluded) be brought to a conclusion two hours after the commencement of proceedings on the motion for this order.

The motion amends the programme order agreed on 21 June. The only changes are to paragraphs 4 and 5 of the original programme order, which made provision for proceedings on consideration and Third Reading.

Mr. Andrew Lansley (South Cambridgeshire) (Con)

It might be convenient to the Minister to know that we are not going to oppose the motion. The sooner we begin our genuine debate, the better.

Miss Johnson

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman. I can therefore expedite matters. I believe that new clause 1 is next on the agenda.

Question put and agreed to.
