New Clause 23
Political Parties and Elections Bill
3:45 pm
Jonathan Djanogly (Shadow Minister, Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform; Huntingdon, Conservative)
Further to that point of order, Sir Nicholas. I thank you, Mr. Cook and Mr. Atkinson for chairing our proceedings over the past weeks. I also thank the Clerks, the Hansard reporters, the Doorkeepers and the police for providing the mechanics that have facilitated our deliberations. The Committee has been conducted in generally good humour and a positive spirit. I thank all hon. Members for their contributions. Yes, more time would have allowed for the eight unconsidered clauses to be covered, but we have covered a lot, in what have been pretty good debates. The Minister generally has been open-minded and recognised the need for consensus through our deliberations. That will involve him returning at the next stage with quite a lot of amendments, but we look forward to that.
