Standing Orders (Public Business)

Debate between Alistair Carmichael and Mark Spencer

Thursday 22nd October 2015 Commons Chamber

[Mark Spencer (Sherwood) (Con)]

It is always a pleasure to follow the right hon. Member for Belfast North (Mr Dodds), who speaks with great experience.

One of the challenges of this debate is to understand where we are coming from and our different constituencies. Some of those who come from other parts of the UK fail to understand the strength of feeling on the doorsteps of England.

[Mr Alistair Carmichael]

If that is the case, surely the hon. Gentleman’s constituents deserve something better. What is being offered to his constituents today is something that could be turned back again by a future Government if they felt the need.
