Prisons and Courts Bill (Sixth sitting)

Nick Thomas-Symonds 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.)
