Emergency Workers (Obstruction) Bill

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. As you may be aware, the Bill was amended in Committee. One of the major amendments was the removal of the word ““assault””, so the Bill now deals with obstructing or hindering emergency workers. However, the titles of clauses 1 and 2 have not been amended to reflect that change. I appreciate that the titles are not part of the legislation, but I point out that the titles of clauses 1 and 2 still refer to ““assaulting””, whereas I would argue that they should refer to obstructing or hindering, because they are otherwise misleading. I wondered whether the promoter of the Bill, the right hon. Member for Swansea, West (Mr. Williams), the Father of the House, had given you any indication that he intends to change the headings.
