Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Stephen Metcalfe and Chloe Smith

Tuesday 16th October 2012 Commons Chamber

[Miss Smith]

That is rather rich considering that it was the Opposition who refused to commit to a timetable motion on the original legislation. We are focusing on economic matters.

[Stephen Metcalfe (South Basildon and East Thurrock) (Con)]

Does my hon. Friend agree that now we appear to have sent House of Lords reform off into the distance we should be using any parliamentary time available to concentrate on the most important thing, which is getting growth back into our economy?

[Miss Smith]

Yes, I certainly do.
