Clause 1 - British overseas territories
British Overseas Territories Bill [Lords]
9:45 am
Mr Jeremy Corbyn (Islington North, Labour)
I would not disagree with you, Mr. Butterfill, but perhaps I can help you with an explanation. Adopting clause 1 in its current form would not prevent me from making this point when we debate later amendments, but it would mean that the Committee would have approved what we agree to be British overseas territories, and I am at variance with that view. Is it in order for me to proceed?
