London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (Amendment) Bill

Before I call the Minister, I wish to inform the House of an issue that will need to be dealt with. I understand that amendments to the Bill tabled by the hon. Member for Christchurch (Mr Chope) on Tuesday evening did not appear on the amendment paper. The reasons for this, which are currently unknown, are being urgently investigated. As this oversight has been discovered at such a late stage, I do not consider it appropriate to select the hon. Gentleman's amendments. However, he can be confident that he will be able to raise his substantive concerns about the Bill during this afternoon's proceedings.
