HL Deb 18 November 2003 vol 654 cc1857-8
Lord Grocott

My Lords, with permission, I should like to say a word about proceedings later today. This afternoon we should receive the Commons amendments to the Sexual Offences Bill. We will consider those amendments after consideration of Commons amendments to the Extradition Bill, but not earlier than 6.45 p.m. The Commons amendments to the Sexual Offences Bill will be available in the Printed Paper Office from 3.45 p.m. Peers who want to table amendments to the Commons amendments can do so in the Public Bill Office from 3.45 p.m. until 5 p.m. At 6 p.m. a Marshalled List of amendments will be available in the Printed Paper Office. I shall ensure that these events are indicated on the annunciators. If there are any complications later in the afternoon I shall do my best to come back to the House to explain them.
