Prisons and Courts Bill (Sixth sitting)

Guy Opperman Excerpts

Thursday 20th April 2017 Public Bill Committees

[Nick Thomas-Symonds (Torfaen) (Lab)]

Further to that point of order, Mr Stringer. I associate myself with all the Minister’s remarks. I, too, thank everyone who has contributed to the Committee’s sessions. When I came up to Westminster from south Wales on Tuesday morning, I thought that the Committee would dominate my week and some other weeks, but events have intervened. The sessions that we had were very positive. There was a large measure of agreement but, at times, robust debate too, which I am sure will stand all the various issues in good stead for the future.

[The Lord Commissioner of Her Majesty’s Treasury (Guy Opperman)]

Given events and with the leave of the Committee, I wish to move a motion.

Ordered,

That the Committee do not proceed with further consideration of the Bill.—(Guy Opperman.)

[The Chair]

The Committee must now agree a special report to be made to the House.

Ordered,

That the Committee agree the Special Report as on the paper before the Committee and that the Chair do report the Bill, so far as amended, to the House.

Bill, so far as amended, accordingly to be reported to the House.
