Part of British Library Board (Power to Borrow) Bill – in the House of Commons at 1:33 pm on 12 March 2021.
I would like to put on the record my appreciation of the great efforts that my hon. Friend Bim Afolami has made and his phenomenal success in bringing this Bill to a successful conclusion in this House. I hope that that will be duly recognised by his constituents—I am sure it will be appreciated by the British Library. May I put on the record the fact that I think that the British Library is one of the greatest of our British institutions and that I am an immense supporter of it? Although there was a lot of scepticism about the cost and design of the new library, I think it has been able to prove its worth in practice, and we much appreciate it.
Question put and agreed to.
Bill accordingly read the Third time and passed.
