Treaty on Stability, Co-ordination and Governance

Lord Young of Cookham Excerpts

Wednesday 29th February 2012 Commons Chamber

Three hours having elapsed since the start of proceedings, the motion lapsed (Standing Order No. 24).

[The Leader of the House of Commons (Sir George Young)]

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. Owing to the debate under Standing Order 24 that has just ended, the time available for the debate on the Water Industry (Financial Assistance) Bill has been reduced. It is therefore the Government’s intention, if necessary, to make more time available to complete the debate that is about to commence at a later date. I will give more details in the business statement tomorrow.

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Nigel Evans)]

I am grateful to the Leader of the House for that clarification.
