Gordon Birtwistle Excerpts

Wednesday 13th February 2013 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

We have had the pleasure of the presence of the hon. Gentleman in this House for two decades. That is, perhaps, some compensation. The question is that the hon. Member have leave to bring in the Bill. [Interruption.] Mr Birtwistle, you are poised; is that because you wish to speak in opposition to the Bill?

[Gordon Birtwistle (Burnley) (LD)]

indicated dissent.

[Mr Speaker]

We are grateful.

Peter Luff accordingly presented the Bill.
