The Committee met at quarter to four.
[The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Lord Haskel) in the Chair.]
Before the Minister moves that the first statutory instrument be considered, I remind noble Lords that in the case of each statutory instrument the Motion will be that the Committee do consider the statutory instrument in question. The Motion to approve the statutory instrument will be moved in the Chamber in the usual way. I add for the benefit of noble Lords that if there is a Division when we get on to the Pensions Bill, the Committee will adjourn for 10 minutes.
