2:00 pm

I beg your pardon. I thought he was looking for the page. I was just trying to be helpful. Sections 35 and 36 read: "GRECO has significant concerns about the composition of an appointments commission as proposed in the Judicial Appointments Bill (as amended on 31 May 2018), [This is a very recent comment, made a month ago, at a maximum] which would place judges in a clear minority position". This is what is being considered in the amendments. I advise colleagues that I withdrew my amendment, which would have reduced the lay participation, so that it can be resubmitted on Report Stage.
