Nigel Evans Excerpts
John Spellar (Warley) (Lab)
On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. Once again, the Government Whips have blocked this measure, which is widely popular. I had hoped to not move it, as the Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill promoted by the hon. Member for Crawley (Henry Smith) was due to be dealt with in Committee on Wednesday this week. Unfortunately, that was blocked—it is unclear whether by the Government, the Whips, or someone else—so how can we let the public, who really want this measure, know that there is something dodgy going on?
Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Nigel Evans)
I think the right hon. Member has done that in his own inimitable way.
Armenian Genocide (Recognition) Bill
Motion made, That the Bill be now read a Second time.
Hon. Members
Object.
Bill to be read a Second time on Friday 24 March.
House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) (Abolition of By-Elections) Bill
Motion made, That the Bill be now read a Second time.
