The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Baroness Fookes) (Con)
My Lords, Members are encouraged to leave some distance between themselves and others and to wear a face covering when not speaking. If there is a Division in the Chamber while we are sitting, which seems unlikely, the Committee will adjourn as soon as the Division bells are rung and resume after 10 minutes.
Before we begin, I am told by one of the attendants that it is known that this Room is over-cold and they are trying to do something about it. Whether that will result in anything useful I am not sure, but it has been reported.
