Representation of the People (Young People’s Enfranchisement) Bill

Peter Bone Excerpts

2nd reading: House of Commons
Friday 11th May 2018 Commons Chamber

[Luke Graham]

The hon. Gentleman makes a point about the Scottish Parliament, but at the risk of getting slightly party political, I would draw his attention to the fact only one such piece of legislation was put before the Scottish Parliament in 2016-17, so its legislative example is not exactly leading the way. I will not take lectures on that from him in this place.

[Mr Peter Bone (Wellingborough) (Con)]

Whatever Members may think about the current private Member’s Bill system, does my hon. Friend agree that the suggestion that it is somehow corrupt is wholly reprehensible?
