Order of Business
The Chair welcomed a visitor group. The Deputy Leader set out the Order of Business: regulations and the Finance Bill were scheduled for later that day.
Before I call the Deputy Leader, I welcome the multinational adult education group from Ukraine, Egypt and Nigeria. The members are all very welcome and I thank them for being here today. I hope they have a very enjoyable visit. As a former director of adult education, I stress the importance of returning to education, staying in education and, more importantly, adult education. I thank the group for being here today.
