This meeting has been convened to consider the Children and Family Relationships Bill 2015. I welcome the Minister and her officials to the meeting. I must request that all mobile phones be switched off or else put on silent mode or some mode that does interfere with the sound system here.

I propose that we should commence now and continue until 11.30 a.m. when we will we take a break for 30 minutes. We will then go from 12.30 p.m. to 1.30 p.m. with another break for 30 minutes. We will then go from 2 p.m. until we decide to conclude. Is that agreed? Agreed.
