London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Bill

It may be helpful for the Minister to be able to take counsel on that question. As a bystander, I shall make a brief observation on the issue of Clause 10 stand part. I link it to the passage of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill, which is going through simultaneously with this one, on alternate days. On Monday night on the latter Bill, there was great concern whether we would reach Amendment No. 122, because there were some people who could not be present on Wednesday who hoped that we would. We started very late—at 8.45 pm, because of the earlier business running on. It transpired that we were not able to reach Amendment No. 122, which we debated on Wednesday as originally intended. I was mildly entertained, and also surprised, to see among my historic emails a message from the business manager’s office that the papers had been issued incorrectly and that Amendment No. 122 had already been debated. As it was, we had an excellent debate on it last night, which lasted well over an hour. Perhaps there could be a little more attention to detail with regard to the printing of documents indicating whether amendments have been debated or not. Unless I have misunderstood, this clause has gone down on the list as having been debated when in fact it has not been debated at all.
