Examination of Witnesses (Questions 11580
- 11599)
11580. CHAIRMAN: All this is highly complex.
11581. MR MOULD: Yes, we will do that.
11582. CHAIRMAN: We are going to look
awfully silly if we take out 258 and cross it out.
11583. MR MOULD: I could see that would
not look well. We will have another look at it and try and come
back tomorrow.
11584. CHAIRMAN: You have explained what
it is all about, you need not do it again but I do not think I
am happy with this list.
11585. MR MOULD: No. My principal concern
in explaining that was clearly to explain the function of the
new provisions of Clause 16 which are the most substantial aspect
of this.

Association
11586. CHAIRMAN: I am sure my colleagues
and I are perfectly happy with that, but if we are going to make
the amendments we need to make sure the parliamentary counsel
has got it absolutely right.
11587. MR MOULD: We will check that.
I do apologise for the fact that was wrong. Can I say, while I
am on my feet, returning to the announcements you made at the
beginning of this afternoon's session, I am told we are hoping
to be able to provide a response to that tomorrow morning.
11588. CHAIRMAN: Good. I think that is
probably the only piece of progress we are going to be able to
make in the case of the rail freight petition without treading
on the toes of the ORR.
11589. MR MOULD: We will respond back
on that.
11590. CHAIRMAN: The studios are not
coming?
11591. MR MOULD: The studios are not
coming so today's business, I think, is now complete.
11592. CHAIRMAN: No, it is not. It is
very far from it. We have Spitalfields back again at half past
five.
11593. MR MOULD: I think I must have
had something for lunch today. I do apologise, yes, of course,
we have by no means completed. We have Mr Carpenter and Woodseer
and Hanbury Street.
11594. LORD YOUNG OF NORWOOD GREEN: It
was a good attempt on your part to leave early.
11595. MR MOULD: Yes. We resume again
I think in that respect at half past five.
11596. CHAIRMAN: At 5.30 and it is going
to have to be time limited because we have it booked 5.30 to 7.30
and I do not think we better go on beyond on that.
11597. MR MOULD: I do not think there
would be much appetite for going on beyond that.
11598. CHAIRMAN: Very well. We will adjourn
until 5.30pm.
The Committee adjourned at 4.00pm until
5.30pm
Ordered that Counsel and Parties be called in.
The following Petition against the Bill was read:
The Petition of Woodseer and Hanbury Residents Association.
MS BAL
KHELA appeared on behalf of the
Petitioner.
MR GUY
CARPENTER appeared as Agent.
11599. CHAIRMAN: Mr Elvin, I do not know
whether you know which aspect of the Spitalfields Petitions this
is dealing with. I know they very sensibly divided it up.
