The Bill will now enter the Committee stage in the Commons, the first of these being Tuesday 1 April. About 20-30 MPs will sit on this Committee, and the proportion from each Party will reflect the make-up of the House of Commons. Government and Opposition Whips choose the MPs to sit.

The Labour whips have chosen my MP Jim Knight to sit on the Committee.

If anyone would like to post short constructive comments/suggestions for the Committee here, or to me via PMs, I can certainly pass these on to him.
