Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Peter Luff and Robert Halfon

Monday 13th December 2010 Commons Chamber

[Peter Luff]

I am sorry that I said it so fast, but it was important to get it on the record. If I do not deliver on that, I think my job will be on the line.

[Robert Halfon (Harlow) (Con)]
