Clause 5 - Section 4: supplementary
European Parliament (Representation) Bill
4:00 pm
Mr William Cash (Stone, Conservative)
I understand what the Minister says, but it rather makes my pointwhich is that distinctions are made based entirely on whether it is exclusively a section 1 amendment order that is being dealt with. The bottom line is that other quite significant provisions flow from the arrangements, yet they do not attract the affirmative resolution procedure, and are relegated to the bottom of the pile by way of annulment. However, having said that, I do not want to make too much of an issue of the matter. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Question proposed, That the clause stand part of the Bill.
