Parliamentary Standards Bill — 29 Jun 2009 at 21:45

Bob Spink MP, Castle Point voted with the majority (Aye).

I beg to move, That the Bill be now read a Second time.

As the House will be aware, this Bill has been presented by my right hon. and learned Friend the Leader of the House. She greatly regrets that she cannot be present either this afternoon in this Second Reading debate or in tomorrow's proceedings. She is attending the memorial service and then the funeral of Sir Henry Hodge, the husband of our right hon. Friend the Member for Barking (Margaret Hodge), who tragically died 11 days ago. I am sure that the House will accept my right hon. and learned Friend's apologies in those circumstances.

Question put, That the Bill be now read a Second time.

The House divided: Ayes 291, Noes 1.
