Mr Rob Marris (Wolverhampton South West, Labour)
Will my hon. Friend reconsider lines 44 and 45 on page 5, which are the reason for use of the past tense in line 31? If the Minister has a moment to examine that, it might show why the phrases that the hon. Member for Runnymede and Weybridge wants to remove are in the Bill.
