Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union Bill.

Having read the Lords amendments fairly carefully over an hour or so, I have the impression that they are all essentially about weakening a Bill which was not very strong in the first place. Could we not shorten the debate and vote on them fairly quickly?
