Proceeding contribution from Ian Pearson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 April 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Debt Relief (Developing Countries) Bill.

Given your strictures, Mr. Speaker, it would not be right to explain for the third time why the clause is structured as it is and why the amendments are unnecessary—
