Lord Spellar Excerpts

Friday 18th March 2022 Commons Chamber

[Hon. Members]

Object.

Bill to be read a Second time on Friday 6 May.

[John Spellar (Warley) (Lab)]

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. This Bill has overwhelming support both from the public and in this Chamber. Is there any way of getting it across to the public that the Government, having failed to produce their own promised Bill, are actually blocking this one, and to assure them that this Bill will be coming back in the next Parliament until we can get rid of this vile trade?

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Nigel Evans)]

I think the right hon. Gentleman has just done it.

Armenian Genocide (Recognition) Bill

Motion made, That the Bill be now read a Second time.
