Proceeding contribution from Roger Gale (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 April 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Digital Economy Bill [Lords].

Digital Economy Bill [Lords]

In business questions, I raised the point that the wash-up is supposed to be for non-contentious material. I do not for one moment believe that my hon. Friend has colluded with the Government; that is not his nature. A small—indeed, pitiful—amount of this very modest Bill is acceptable to probably everybody in the House. However, it is not satisfactory for a Bill to be effectively rewritten and subjected to a super-affirmative resolution. Would it not be better for him to resist the bad bits of the Bill in their entirety and let a new Conservative Government bring in a decent Bill?
