Hunting Bill — New Clause 1 — Compensation — 9 Jul 2003 at 21:15
I beg to move, That the clause be read a Second time.
It seems like less than a week-although it is just over a week-since I stood at the Dispatch Box and decried the absurdity of our wasting parliamentary time talking about hunting yet again. Soldiers are dying in Iraq, the health service is in meltdown and education is in crisis. It speaks volumes about the Minister's priorities that we are wasting time on this ridiculous subject.
It being two hours after the commencement of proceedings on consideration of the Bill, Mr. Deputy Speaker put forthwith the Question already proposed from the Chair, pursuant to Orders [16 December 2002 and 1 July 2003].
The House divided: Ayes 145, Noes 282.
