Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Eleanor Laing)
We now come to the first Opposition day motion, on community payback. Before we start the debate, I inform the House that there is a small error on the Order Paper.

The motion has been corrected online; I would be grateful if Members corrected it on their Order Papers.

Social Security (Additional Payments) Act 2022.
