Proceeding contribution from David Heath (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 November 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill.
Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill
I am grateful to my hon. Friend for giving way; I just want us to proceed with this debate in good order. Several Members, including my hon. Friend, have used the phrase "exceptional circumstances". Actually, the term in the Bill is "exceptional cases", which is slightly different. It is easier to define "exceptional circumstances" than it is the "exceptional cases" that must be brought to one's attention by the report. In fact, it is even more difficult for the Minister to defend that inclusion within the schedule.
