Travel Concessions (Eligibility) Bill [Lords]
5:00 pm
Miss Ann Widdecombe (Maidstone and The Weald, Conservative)
The hon. Gentleman should be aware that the Bill has been drawn up in a narrow way. There has been a ruling, which I cannot overturn, by Mr. Stevenson that there must be a narrow interpretation of the scope of the Bill as far as amendments go, but that does not preclude discussion. The hon. Gentleman must make his case in the course of discussion if he wants us to reconsider that ruling.
Question proposed, That the clause stand part of the Bill.
