Part of Delegated Legislation – in the House of Commons at 5:45 pm on 15 September 2020.
I appreciate the point that the right hon. Gentleman makes. He has just solved his problem; let it be known that Sir Christopher Chope and Sir Desmond Swayne oppose motion 4. I note that there are two of them, and that there are a great many others who do not oppose it. I have just explained in my answer to the point of order from the hon. Member for Christchurch that there were very obvious ways in which he and the right hon. Member for New Forest West could have ensured that a vote on motion 4 was taken by way of a deferred Division.
