Proceeding contribution from Baroness Featherstone (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 February 2012. It occurred during Backbench debate on Metal Theft.


Metal Theft

I will not, as I am really short of time. That is why we took the difficult decision not to support the private Member's Bill proposed by the hon. Member for Hyndburn. It was not because we do not agree with the principles, but because unfortunately the Bill would not have received the necessary parliamentary time to achieve Royal Assent in this Session.
