DEBT RELIEF (DEVELOPING COUNTRIES) BILL

House of Commons, 12 March 2010.

Sally Keeble (Labour, Northampton North)

Who objected?

Sylvia Heal (Deputy Speaker, Halesowen and Rowley Regis)

It is certainly not for me to identify who objected.

Sally Keeble (Labour, Northampton North)

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. The hon. Member who objected may have been the Member who chaired the Committee, who is actually responsible for reporting the Bill to the House. This Bill has all-party agreement and considerable concessions were made in Committee. If the objection came from the person who chaired the Committee, I believe that that would be out of order.

Sylvia Heal (Deputy Speaker, Halesowen and Rowley Regis)

No. I am afraid the hon. Member is misguided in assuming that.

Bill to be further considered on Thursday 18 March .
