Daylight Saving Bill (Money)

Proceeding contribution from Peter Bone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Daylight Saving Bill (Money).
That is rather a surprise to me. I am now tempted to vote against the money resolution in order to allow another day for private Members' Bills, but that would not coincide with my principles. What we must decide tonight is very simple. The money resolution is not about the money that would be spent, but about whether there should be an almost automatic passage through the House for a private Member's Bill that has gone through Second Reading. What I am seeing tonight is an attempt to block that, and I do not like it. I do not like the way the Government have used that to put pressure to change the Bill. The House should support the money resolution, but I think that we should be wary of what the Government have done.
