Morning session

The third day of the LASPO Bill Committee. No witnesses in these sessions, just the MPs scrutinising the Bill

I've been in touch with Parliament TV and they said the starting times were changed last minute. This means that they only started broadcasting from approximately 1.5 hours in, which is where this video picks up. Parliament TV told me that they will try get the audio of the earlier part of the session and make that available - I'll update this piece if so. They have, however, now altered their afternoon scheduling to make sure they now broadcast the afternoon session, as they also had this down for the incorrect time

What you need to bear in mind here, is that Andy Slaughter has been speaking since the meeting opened, at 9am. Our video here, begins at 10.23am

Afternoon session (began at 1.30pm)

First, a short clip taken from the beginning of that session where Crispin Blunt expresses his frustration at the time it is taking to scrutinise the Bill properly. He is reassured by the Chair that there is nothing untoward happening:

This clip is well worth watching. Bear in mind that that Andy Slaughter has already spoken for approximately 2.5 hours on the first clause alone:
