Proceeding contribution from Lord Darling of Roulanish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 July 2005. It occurred during Debate on Business of the House.


Business of the House

I intend to cover all the points that have been raised in relation to the instruction and the procedures, and to give the Government's view on them. However, as I understand it, if the House agrees to the business motion now, there will be a vote on the principle of the Bill—its Second Reading—at 10 o'clock. We will then reach motion No. 8, which is the Government's instruction, and if the House does not like it, it can vote it down. Then, as I understand it, the Opposition's instruction to the Committee would be considered. However, the business motion gives the House the opportunity to vote on these matters. At risk of straying from the point of order, Mr. Speaker, may I say that I hope, during the course of my remarks, to be able to accommodate many, if not all, of the points made by hon. Members? I believe that our instruction to the Committee will allow that.
