Baroness Williams of Trafford (Con)
It may be for the convenience of your Lordships if I say that the House will have an opportunity to debate the Energy Prices Bill at Second Reading tomorrow. The Committee and Report stages will take place on 24 October, with Third Reading on Tuesday 25 October. If noble Lords wish to table amendments to the Bill, they may do so from this afternoon, once the Bill is printed, until 4 pm on Thursday 20 October. As noble Lords will know, amendments are tabled with the Public Bill Office in the usual way, and a message will appear on the annunciator when tabling opens today.
Looking ahead, the deadline for amendments at Report stage will be 30 minutes after the conclusion of Committee on Monday 24 October. Third Reading amendments should be tabled on Monday evening for Third Reading the following day. As usual, the Government Whips’ Office and the Public Bill Office are available to assist noble Lords with any detailed questions.
