Proceeding contribution from Lord Garnier (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.

Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

The hon. Member for Somerton and Frome (Mr. Heath) is right to point out that oddity on the Order Paper. Paragraph 2 of the motion states:"““Proceedings in the Public Bill Committee shall (so far as not previously concluded) be brought to a conclusion on Tuesday 30th October 2007.””" That is perfectly clear English. The carry-over motion, No. 3 on the Order Paper, deals with incomplete business that can be resumed in the next Session, but if the Committee stage has been completed all that is left in the House is Report and Third Reading, so the hon. Gentleman is perfectly right. Perhaps the drafters of Government motions need to apply their minds to what motions mean as opposed to what they think they mean.
