Clause 4 - Electoral commission report
European Parliamentary and Local Elections (Pilots) Bill
2:45 pm
Mr Nick Hawkins (Surrey Heath, Conservative)
I agree with the hon. Gentleman and am glad to have his support. Both Opposition parties ask the Minister to continue to talk about the matter with his officials. He may say that we have gone too far in some of the amendments by including every kind of local authority, but there may be a middle way—one might dare say a third way—which the Minister, who is a keen supporter of the third way, might discuss with his officials. As we have given him an opportunity to think about that, I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
