Political Parties and Elections Bill — Second Reading — 20 Oct 2008 at 21:43

The majority of MPs voted to give the Political Parties and Elections Bill its Second Reading,[1] which means it begins its journey through the Parliamentary procedure.

Ordinarily, a Bill which is brought to the House so close to the end of a Parliamentary session would be doomed to fall off the timetable. However, a motion was proposed to carry it over to the next session.[2]

Owing to the fact that an MP shouted "Object" when the Speaker proposed it, this motion had to be voted on before it would pass. The voting was deferred till later.[3]
