Clause 1
Crown Employment (Nationality) Bill
9:30 am
Andrew Dismore (Hendon, Labour)
If we complete the Bill’s Committee stage this morning, we shall have a good slot on 19 October—all being well. Those in the other place try to act expeditiously in respect of Bills that start here, so we will have a reasonable shot at it, depending on the views that are expressed today and on Report.
A couple of years ago, the Bill managed to reach discussion on Report, so we shall wait to see how we get on now. Obviously, a lot depends on the view of the Opposition. I understand that they support it, as do the Liberal Democrats. However, no doubt we shall hear from them in due course.
