Science and Technology: Select Committee (Hansard, 3 June 1997)

§ The Chairman of Committees

My Lords, I beg to move the second Motion standing in my name on the Order Paper. In doing so, I must apologise to your Lordships for a printing error on the Order Paper six lines from the end of the Motion where the word "from" has been omitted. The sentence should read, That the Committee have leave to report from time to time". With your Lordships' permission I shall arrange to correct that at a later stage.
