Manchester City Council Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Andrew Miller (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 28 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bills on Manchester City Council Bill [Lords].
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Many of us have sat through many hours of debates on these private Bills. Some years ago, I also had the privilege of chairing what was probably the shortest Opposed Bill Committee on record, although I have not noticed an entry to that effect in Wisden. In 2010, this process is not well understood by the public, and nor is it fit for purpose. Is it not time that the House considered establishing a Speaker's conference to consider whether a better way might be found to deal with such business?
