Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord McCrea of Magherafelt and Cookstown (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill.
Does my right hon. Friend agree that it is strange that not one Member has spoken up for the Bill from the party that says that the matter is of paramount importance to the UK and must be pushed through before other legislation? In fact, the one Member who spoke to support the Bill, the hon. Member for Grantham and Stamford (Nick Boles), said that 90% of his constituents did not even know who he was.
