- Hansard - - - Excerpts

My Lords, I shall make the usual housekeeping announcements. If there is a Division in the Chamber, the Committee will adjourn as soon as the Division Bells are rung and will resume after 10 minutes, or at a time at my discretion if there is any problem.

I also remind the Committee of the new procedure during Grand Committee on the Bill for Divisions in the Chamber. Members who have registered with the Clerk of the Parliaments may vote in their places in the Grand Committee, provided they are present in the Grand Committee when the Question is put in the Chamber after three minutes. Members who have not registered, or who are not here at the three-minute mark, will not be able to vote in their places.

I also remind Members not to touch the microphones. They are all set and it will cause a nuisance if you play with them.
