A 60 minute debate takes place on those amendments so that they can become part of the Bill. Then, when we get to those amendments on Report Stage, any Member can ask for the amendment to be recommitted to Committee Stage and have a full debate. That debate will go on all day on Wednesday and Thursday.

Therefore, it is not a case of attempting to ram these amendments through in one hour. It is strictly in accordance with Standing Order 177 to allow for a debate of 60 minutes so that those amendments can become part of the Bill and then be debated fully during the course of Report Stage on Wednesday and on Thursday. I hope this clarifies the matter for Members.
