Orders of the Day — Clause 6 — Proceedings under scheme — 6 Nov 2006 at 16:30

Stewart Jackson MP, Peterborough voted in the minority (No).

I beg to move, That this House disagrees with the Lords in the said amendment, insists on Commons amendments Nos. 5 and 16, and proposes amendment (a) in lieu.

I think that it is with some surprise that we find ourselves discussing this amendment. I say that not with any sense of arrogance but because I genuinely feel that the House had a good-natured and constructive debate on the matter. We adopted a reasonable approach in response to concerns raised in another place and in this place in Committee and, as the listening kind of Government that we are, we proposed changes to the Bill, which responded to those concerns and which were passed by a considerable majority of the House.

Question put, That this House disagrees with the Lords in the said amendment:-

The House divided: Ayes 285, Noes 187.
