Legal Services Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on Legal Services Bill [Lords].
It is like Groundhog day because we have gone over the arguments on numerous occasions. The Under-Secretary has ably conducted proceedings on the Bill and the Government have taken on not only constructive amendments and representations from Back Benchers but even some suggestions from the hon. Member for Huntingdon (Mr. Djanogly). I do not understand why Liberal Democrats want to divide the House— It being one hour after the commencement of proceedings, Mr. Deputy Speaker put the remaining Questions required to be put at that hour, pursuant to Order [this day]. Question put, That this House does not insist on the Commons amendments to which the Lords have disagreed, and proposes Government amendments (a) to (l) in lieu:— The House divided: Ayes 277, Noes 50.
