Proceeding contribution from Andrew Dismore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 2 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Law (Amendment) (Protection of Property) Bill.


Criminal Law (Amendment) (Protection of Property) Bill

Of course. Basically, the convention is that Fridays are a private Members’ day. The Whips should keep out of the business and we should, as private Members, progress with the business. Occasionally, rather peculiar results occur as a consequence. If a party whips on a Friday—not individual Members whipping but a party whipping—that is a gross disrespect to the House and private Members.
