Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 20 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

The Member for Christchurch, in the House of Commons, who was supported by Eleanor Laing, Greg Knight, James Clappison and Robert Syms. He stated: "““I beg to move amendment 62, in clause 7, page 5, leave out lines 9 to 11 and insert 'but no preference beyond the second may be indicated””.—[Official Report, Commons, 19 /10/10; col. 837.]" He went through the use of a numbered system. I hope that the noble Lord in reply can simply clarify the position as to whether the language that I have deployed in this amendment, if it were enshrined in the Bill, would be acceptable. I beg to move.
