Prayers — Clause 1 — Duties of the Secretary of State — 9 Sep 2011 at 13:15
Mark Reckless MP, Rochester and Strood did not vote.
I beg to move amendment 3, page 1, line 2, leave out ‘publishing draft’ and insert ‘presenting’.
I beg to move, That the Bill be now read the Third time.
Let me start my remarks by reassuring Opposition Members about a number of things that are not in the Bill and that-surprise, surprise-both the BBC and The Guardian occasionally misreport things. I want to reassure everyone here that I am a whole-hearted supporter of the Union. I have referred before in the Chamber to the memory of my late, lamented grandmother, Flora McLean McLeod Morison, from the Isle of Skye, and I think that that will go a long way towards reassuring everybody what a strong supporter I am of the Union, being a physical embodiment of it myself.
Question put, That the Bill be now read the Third time.
The House divided:
Ayes 24, Noes 40.
