I was very clear about that. In fact, we spent a considerable amount of time last Monday discussing the Government’s motion. We were very clear that that motion would be binding on the Government in relation to the package of 35 measures. The regulations are now being discussed by the House of Lords.

Member for Normanton, Pontefract and Castleford (Yvette Cooper), chose to move a closure motion to stop debate.
