[The Chair]

Technically speaking, the Member has moved only amendment 75. The other two amendments will be decided on when we reach the relevant clauses. He cannot move all three together; he has moved amendment 75. I call Taiwo Owatemi.

indicated dissent.

[The Chair]

Sorry. I thought you were waving your hand. If people could stand up and make it plain to me that they wish to speak, I will call them. If they wiggle an eyebrow, raise a hand or otherwise, I will not see them and therefore will not call them. I call Olivia Blake.

Committee stage

[The Chair]

Order. We resume consideration of the Bill. I am speaking slowly in the hope that the shadow Minister may appear at the last moment—

[Taiwo Owatemi (Coventry North West) (Lab)]

He was just behind me.

[The Chair]

Hopefully, then, he will be here very shortly.

We will resume our marathon consideration of the Energy Bill this morning with the Question that clause 171 stand part of the Bill. That, of course, is grouped with a number of other things: clauses 172 to 174, amendment 101, schedule 16, clauses 175 to 179, and new clause 39. To remind the Minister in case he slips again, the Question will be that clause 171 stand part of the Bill.

I welcome the shadow Minister to his place—all I have done so far is announce the first group. I call the Minister to speak to it.
