Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

In the year of the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible, I am sure that the old ways often are the best. My only point is that the arrival of the internet has changed much and that that should be the subject of reflection.

My judgment is that, into the fourth hour of this debate, the law of diminishing returns suggests that the Minister should now speak.
