Schedule 2
Driving Instruction (Suspension and Exemption Powers) Bill
10:00 am
Willie Rennie (Dunfermline and West Fife, Liberal Democrat)
I am grateful for the obedient manner in which the Committee has performed this morning. This is the style that I like—perhaps I should become the Chief Whip of the Liberal Democrats to ensure discipline all round. I am grateful to Committee members for attending and for asking probing questions, which is only appropriate.
I thank the Minister, who is new to the Bill. I was working with his predecessor, the hon. Member for Poplar and Canning Town (Jim Fitzpatrick), who was delightful to work with. He was extremely supportive of the Bill and ensured that it got through the appropriate stages. I am delighted that the current Minister has quickly got up to speed with the Bill’s details; he performed very well this morning. Thank you, Mr. Wilshire, for your efficient chairmanship and thank you to the Committee.
