I move amendment No. 1:

To delete all words after “That” and substitute the following: “the Bill be read a second time on 31st December, 2023.”

I welcome the Minister back to active duty. My amendment would postpone the consideration of Second Stage until the end of the year, but I wish to move it on this basis only, that we should not rush the Bill through. If I have satisfactory assurances that we are not going to rush it through, I do not particularly want to press the amendment at the end of the debate.
