Proceeding contribution from Cheryl Gillan (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 October 2011. It occurred during Grand Committee proceedings (HC) on Work Programme (Wales).


Work Programme (Wales)

No, I am not embarrassed about the policy in the slightest. In fact, I disagree with the hon. Gentleman, if it is all right to disagree with one’s host—I am grateful to him for hosting us in his constituency. The truth of the matter is that I watched those debates and I have certainly read the record of them, and not everyone in this room today attended them. It was interesting to see the very lengthy speeches and amazing contributions that unfortunately forced out the groups of amendments that would have enabled us to discuss the matter. I feel, therefore, that contributory factors from Members prevented the amendments being debated in full.
