Order for consideration of Bill as amended, read.
To be considered upon Thursday 21 February.
Later—
May I make a personal statement to the House? At the time of Private Business this afternoon I intended to appoint Thursday next at 7 o'clock for the County of Merseyside Bill. By a slip of the tongue I said Thursday 21 February. I hope that the House will forgive me and allow the Bill to be put down at 7 o'clock on Thursday next.
Order. It takes a very good right hon. Member at the end of Prime Minister's questions to unite the House.
TYNE AND WEAR BILL [ Lords] ( By Order)
