Proceeding contribution from Lord McNally (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 15 December 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill.

Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

My Lords, this clause is an interpretation clause, although it provoked some interesting debates on the amendments on which the House voted. The purpose of the clause is to provide definitions of certain terms used in the Bill, providing clarity as to the meaning of these words in the context of the Bill. The clause does not have any substantive effect on its own; that is contained in the clauses and schedules which use the words and terms listed in this clause. On that basis, I hope that the House will support me. I beg to move. Clause 7, as amended, agreed. Amendment 41 not moved. Clause 8 : Commencement or repeal of amending provisions Clause 8 : Commencement or repeal of amending provisions Amendment 42 not moved. Amendment 43 Moved by
