Space Industry Bill [ Lords ] (First sitting)

David Morris Excerpts

Committee Debate: 1st sitting: House of Commons
Tuesday 23rd January 2018 Public Bill Committees

[The Chair]

We are now sitting in public and the proceedings are being broadcast. Before we begin, everyone should ensure that their electronic devices are turned off or switched to silent mode. Tea and coffee are not allowed during sittings because they are hot drinks. I also remind Members that they need to declare any relevant interests publicly. They can do that now, if they wish, or when they first rise to speak. Does anyone wish to declare any interests?

[David Morris (Morecambe and Lunesdale) (Con)]

I do not know whether it is relevant or not, but I am the chairman of the all-party parliamentary group on space.

[The Chair]

Thank you.

Today we will consider the programme motion on the amendment paper, then a motion to enable the reporting of written evidence for publication.
