Clause 13
Political Parties and Elections Bill
11:30 am
Nicholas Winterton (Macclesfield, Conservative)
Before we come to the Government new clauses, I remind the Committee that we are scheduled to conclude our deliberations on the Bill at 4 o’clock on Thursday, which leaves approximately nine hours of further debate, if we work to the normal hours of a Public Bill Committee. I am entirely impartial, but I feel from time to time that it is helpful to remind the Committee of the programme motion and of the timetable. [Hon. Members: “Hear, hear.”] I am grateful to hon. Members for that indication of support.
