Cultural Property (Armed Conflicts) Bill [Lords]

John Bercow Excerpts

Monday 20th February 2017 Commons Chamber

[Mr Peter Bone (Wellingborough) (Con)]

I wonder whether the Minister could explain why we are changing the programme motion.

[Mr Speaker]

I allowed the scope and the momentary wait, and the hon. Gentleman has taken his opportunity. I am extremely grateful to him for an extremely succinct speech. It is open to the Minister to respond, if she wishes to do so, but she is not under any obligation to do so.

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (Tracey Crouch)]

indicated dissent.

[Mr Speaker]

The Minister does not seem to wish to take advantage of the enticing opportunity that has been offered.

Question put and agreed to.
