Proceeding contribution from Lord Wills (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill.

Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill

No, I will not give way yet. I will give way many times, but—[Hon. Members: "You've only just started."] I have indeed only just started and I will give way many times, but I want to address a fundamental point. We heard several times from Conservative Members, starting with the hon. and learned Member for Beaconsfield, that the Bill was a mouse—I think that "a modest Bill" is the phrase that the Conservative Whips put out and which was repeated many times. The substance—[Interruption.] I am only reflecting what Opposition Members said.
