Committee Stage

HONG KONG BILL:/REPORT STAGE AND THIRD READING

1.

I understand that the committee stage, report stage and

Third Reading of the Hong Kong Bill will be taken on

Monday 28 January. The Guide to Legislative Procedures

does not cover this rather unusual case, and I would

be grateful for your guidance on what material we should

provide for Ministers. I assume that it will include:

(a) Notes on Clauses

(b) Notes on Amendments

(c)

Speaking notes on "Clause stand part"

Will it also be necessary to prepare a speech for the Third

Reading, which I understand takes the form of a debate? A

brief note on the procedure to be adopted on 28 January

on the basis of the advice of the Parlimentary Managers

would be very helpful.
