Sir Brian Mawhinney: I appreciate the fact that the Home Secretary took seriously the concerns that I
expressed in Committee. He was as good as his word. He made arrangements for me to see his officials and we had a constructive discussion. It would be fair to say, without revealing the content of those private discussions, that I alerted officials to the dangers of going down this route, and tried to persuade them of the merits of the way that I thought was best.The Government have now introduced this legislation. I am grateful to the Minister for saying that the Government would table an amendment to substitute the word "will" for "may" in the amendment, but I have also let it be known that without having sight of the guidance—never mind the issue of guidance itself—there is no way that any responsible House of Parliament could endorse—
It being fifteen minutes to Eleven o'clock, Mr. Speaker put the Question already proposed from the Chair, pursuant to Orders [19 November and this day.]
The House divided: Ayes 307, Noes 236.
