Proceeding contribution from Angus Brendan MacNeil (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill.

Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

We have just heard the Liberal Democrats say that they still believe in STV. I wonder whether that belief stretches 5 or 10 yards to the Lobby. I would wager that it does not go very far at all. In the moments that are left, I want to speak to an amendment that I tabled. Debate interrupted (Programme Order, this day). The Chair put forthwith the Question already proposed from the Chair (Standing Order No. 83D), That the amendment be made. The Committee divided: Ayes 17, Noes 346.
