Parliamentary Elections (Recall and Primaries) — Schedule 7 — Repeals — 13 Oct 2009 at 21:58

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

I am aware that we do not have a great deal of time for Third Reading, but I would like to thank right hon. and hon. Members, especially those who participated in Committee, for their deep consideration of the clauses. The Bill has been carefully scrutinised in the House, in Committee and in the other place. I express my particular gratitude to the Minister for Housing, in whose capable hands the Bill started off before descending into mine. I also thank the Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, who was briefly a member of our Public Bill Committee and who dealt admirably with the clauses on construction.

Question put, That the Bill be now read the Third time.

The House divided: Ayes 274, Noes 189.
