Arrangement of Business

Monday 5th September 2022 Grand Committee

Announcement

15:45

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Baroness McIntosh of Hudnall) (Lab)]

My Lords, forgive me. It may be entirely apparent to the Committee that we are missing an Opposition Front-Bench spokesperson at the moment. We have search parties out and I hope that our colleague will appear in due course. In the event that he does not, we will proceed. “In due course” means “in a minute”, by the way.

Sitting suspended.

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Baroness McIntosh of Hudnall) (Lab)]

My Lords, good afternoon. I think we are all now present and correct and can begin.
