Clause 1 - Piloting conduct at European
European Parliamentary and Local Elections (Pilots) Bill
10:00 am
Mr Peter Duncan (Galloway and Upper Nithsdale, Conservative)
Does my hon. Friend agree that one of our concerns, inasmuch as plain English is patently not being used, relates to the cumulative effect of our suspicion that the Bill has arrived at the worst moment and is being rushed through as a result of the guillotine motion that we have regrettably agreed, when the provisions could have been incorporated into earlier European legislation this year? Perhaps plain English would have sorted that out and not created such an air of suspicion in the eyes of the public.
