Parliamentary Standards Bill

I share the view that the Bill is being much improved, but I think that I heard the Leader of the House say "later in Committee". Because we cannot really absorb all the changes being made today, is it possible for the Committee to meet this week, to meet the needs of the Government to table their amendments so that they can be further considered, rather than have it all done in a great hiccup at Report next week? I should have thought that that would be in the interests of the Government and Parliament, as it would give us time to reflect. I do not know whether that is what the Leader of the House had in mind when she said "later in Committee". She surely cannot mean later tonight in Committee, because the Government cannot table further amendments tonight.
