Proceeding contribution from Stephen Hammond (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 28 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Concessionary Bus Travel Bill [Lords].

Concessionary Bus Travel Bill [Lords]

As the Minister said, in Committee we discussed funding for the Bill at great length, because it is absolutely central to the Bill. I said in Committee that this was an excellent amendment that would enhance the Bill, and I still think so. Nothing that I have heard from the Minister this afternoon suggests that there is any reason not to put the new clause into the Bill, and I therefore wish to test the will of the House. Question put, That the clause be read a Second time:— The House divided: Ayes 157, Noes 257.
