Proceeding contribution from Christopher Chope (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on London Local Authorities Bill [Lords].

London Local Authorities Bill [Lords]

Again, I differ with my hon. Friend. It is a function of the quality of the legislation. A good Bill that is well drafted and commands popular support will go through very quickly, as we saw earlier in this Session with the private Member's Bill promoted by my hon. Friend the Member for Woking (Jonathan Lord). He hardly had a chance to get a word in edgeways on his own Bill—his maiden Bill—because it sped through all its stages, and that is because it was well-drafted, pertinent and met a need.
