Armed Forces Bill

I beg to move,"That the Bill be considered in the following order, namely, Clauses 1 to 53, Schedule 1, Clauses 54 to 113, Schedule 2, Clauses 114 to 163, Schedule 3, Clauses 164 to 168, Schedule 4, Clauses 169 to 180, Schedule 5, Clauses 181, Schedule 6, Clauses 182 to 205, Schedule 7, Clauses 206 to 271, Schedule 8, Clauses 272 to 275, Schedule 9, Clauses 276 and 277, Schedule 10, Clauses 278 to 319, Schedule 11, Clauses 320 to 347, Schedule 12, Clauses 348 and 349, Schedule 13, Clauses 350 to 354, Schedule 14, Clauses 355 to 363, Schedule 15, Clauses 364 to 371, Schedules 16 and 17, Clauses 372 to 378, new Clauses, new Schedules, any remaining proceedings on the Bill." The motion sets out the order of consideration for today’s proceedings in Committee. It follows exactly the same order as was used in the Select Committee on the Bill. It was the Committee’s view that, with a large and complex Bill arranged in a logical sequence, it should be debated in that sequence, with the schedules brought up with their relevant clauses. As Lewis Carroll said:"““Begin at the beginning…and go on till you come to the end: then stop.””" Question put and agreed to. Clauses 1 to 7 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
