HL Deb 19 November 2003 vol 654 c1939
Lord Davies of Oldham

My Lords, by the leave of the House, it may be for the convenience of the House if I make a Statement on the projected business for today. This afternoon we shall receive the Commons amendments to the Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Bill. We will consider those amendments after consideration of Commons amendments on the Criminal Justice Bill but not earlier than 9.45 p.m.

The Commons amendments will be available in the Printed Paper Office from 6.45 p.m. Peers who want to table amendments to the Commons amendments can do so in the Public Bill Office from 6.45 p.m. until 8.45 p.m. At 9.15 p.m., a Marshalled List of amendments will be available in the Printed Paper Office.

I will make sure that these events are indicated on the annunciators. If there are any complications that affect this plan I shall come back to the House to explain what is happening. I will also update the House on timings for further rounds of ping-pong on both the Criminal Justice Bill and the Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Bill.
