Council Tax (New Valuation Lists for England) Bill

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I left the Chamber a moment ago—I apologise for such discourtesy to my hon. Friend the Member for Mole Valley and hope that I missed only a small number of sentences of his speech—to find out whether I could now get a copy of the Local Government Finance Act 1992. Staff of the Vote Office tell me that the Act will not be with them for at least an hour and a quarter, so we will have had about two hours of a debate on an amendment to a Bill that refers to a text that we cannot see. Is that your feeling of how the business of Parliament should be conducted, Madam Deputy Speaker? If it is not, may we accelerate the production of the text, or else suspend the sitting until the text is available?
