Grand CommitteeIf I may, I enjoyed the debate earlier, but the convention is that you do not move it formally in Committee.
My Lords, I have in front of me, from the Public Bill Office, “If you wish to move your second amendment, you say, ‘My Lords, I beg to move manuscript Amendment 8A, standing in my name, which is as follows’, and read it out. You then make your speech.”
I think that was put down just in case something odd happened. The convention for right now is not to move it.
I am sorry; I am new. I do not know the conventions. Shall I go on to move it?
I do not think you want to move it. It was spoken to earlier.
I know, but it was grouped with Amendment 7A and was spoken to there.
That is fine, because it is very short and was simply going to repeal the Act, which would mean that we would not have the protocol consent principles.
