Business of the House

Debate between Charlie Elphicke and Valerie Vaz

Wednesday 3rd April 2019 Commons Chamber

[Valerie Vaz]

I think we can wait for the hon. Gentleman’s lecture later.

The motion allows for the Bill to be considered and asks the Prime Minister to make a proposal to be considered by the House the day after enactment. As with every Bill, a helpful explanatory note to the Bill is available in the Vote Office that describes each clause and exactly what the Prime Minister has to do.

[Charlie Elphicke]

Will the hon. Lady give way?

[Valerie Vaz]

I am nearly finished.

We are trying to help the Government. I am pleased that the amendment tabled by my right hon. Friend the Member for Leeds Central (Hilary Benn) has been selected. Her Majesty’s Opposition support the motion and want to find a way forward. Our democracy demands it.
