Equitable Life (Payments) Bill

I agree. It is a tragedy that this has taken this long. Today's debate has been reasonable, but I felt let down by the uncharacteristic tone that was struck by the hon. Member for Nottingham East (Chris Leslie). One hour having elapsed since the commencement of proceedings on consideration, the debate was interrupted (Programme Order, 14 September). The Deputy Speaker put forthwith the Question already proposed from the Chair (Standing Order No. 83E), That the Bill be now read the Third time. Question agreed to. Bill accordingly read the Third time and passed.
