Proceeding contribution from Lord Bach (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 16 March 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Parliamentary Constituencies (England) (Amendment) Order 2009.


Parliamentary Constituencies (England) (Amendment) Order 2009

My Lords, in moving the approval Motion, I should like to say a few brief words in anticipation of the noble Lord, Lord Tyler, moving his amendment. We fully debated the draft order in Grand Committee on Wednesday 4 March, the proceedings of which are reported in Hansard. I am sure that all noble Lords will be keen to get on with the marine Bill, but it is entirely open to the noble Lord, Lord Tyler, if he so wishes, to test the opinion of the House on his amendment. I should draw to the House’s attention the fact that the other place approved the draft order last Wednesday by a majority of 402 votes to 58. I beg to move.
