Clause 4 - Electoral commission report
European Parliamentary and Local Elections (Pilots) Bill
2:30 pm
Mr Nick Hawkins (Surrey Heath, Conservative)
Given the Minister's response, it would be churlish of me not to accede to his request. He is constructively considering a revised version of amendment No. 6, and I would be delighted if we ended up with another Hawkins amendment on Report.
The Minister is aware that the Opposition appreciate his serious consideration of matters when we try to improve legislation. I hope that we have rekindled the flame of my hon. Friend the Member for Rochford and Southend, East.
