In relation to notice of amendments I would suggest three days notice where possible for amendments to any section in the Bill.

Could you just go back over that for a moment and explain what you are proposing about notice with regard to amendments please.

The Bills Office are anxious that they would receive three days notice but obviously the Member would have an idea exactly when the section or part of the Bill that the amendments related to would be coming up so that three days notice could be given prior to that. Is there a problem with that?

No not beyond the fact, as I have indicated, that there is a certain amount of work to do in preparing amendments. To be clear about it I will try to do everything possible to facilitate the Office. I presume that people can be facilitated and will be facilitated as we develop along. We are going to schedule our work and it may well be as we deliberate one day that an amendment may emerge from those deliberations that could impact on a later section to be taken the next day. I presume we will not be absolute in his rule.

Where possible.

Yes, then I accept that in its entirety.
