Proceeding contribution from Bridget Prentice (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Coroners and Justice Bill.


Coroners and Justice Bill

I beg to move,"That the Order of 26 January 2009 (Coroners and Justice Bill (Programme)), as varied by the Order of 4 March 2009 (Coroners and Justice Bill (Programme) (No. 2)), be further varied as follows:""1. Paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Order shall be omitted.""2. Proceedings on consideration and Third Reading shall be concluded in two days.""3. Proceedings on consideration shall be taken on each of those days as shown in the following Table and in the order so shown.""4. Each part of the proceedings shall (so far as not previously concluded) be brought to a conclusion at the time specified in relation to it in the second column of the Table."

TABLE
First day
Proceedings Time for conclusion of proceedings
New Clauses, New Schedules and amendments relating to inquests into a person's death that may be conducted without a jury; remainingNew Clauses, New Schedules and amendments relating to Part 1; New Clauses, New Schedules and amendments relating to Part 2 except those relating to hatred on grounds of sexual orientation. The moment of interruption.
Second day
Remaining New Clauses, NewSchedules and amendments relating to Part 2.New Clauses, New Schedules and amendments relating to Part 8; New Clauses, New Schedules and amendments relating to Chapter 1 of Part 4; remaining proceedings on consideration. One hour after the commencement of proceedings on the Bill.One hour before the moment of interruption.

"5. Proceedings on Third Reading hsall (so far as not previously concluded) be brought to a conclusion at the moment of interruption on the second day" I hope that we can agree the motion quickly so that we can consider the Bill's provisions. It seeks to ensure that they get the scrutiny that they deserve. First, we have provided for the Bill to be considered over two days and, secondly, the motion orders the proceedings for the two days so that the provisions for private inquests, incitement to hatred on the ground of sexual orientation, data protection, data sharing and the sentencing council receive adequate time for debate. I hope that there will also be an opportunity to consider the other issues that Bill covers.
