HC Deb 17 January 1997 vol 288 c594

Read a Second time.

Motion made, and Question put forthwith, pursuant to Standing Order No. 61 (Committal of Bills), That the Bill be committed to a Committee of the whole House.—[Mr. John Marshall.] Question agreed to.

Bill immediately considered in Committee; reported, without amendment; read the Third time, and passed.

Mr. Dennis Skinner (Bolsover)

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Will you confirm that in the course of today's proceedings, two Bills proposed by Tory Members of Parliament have received full co-operation from Labour Members and members of minority parties to facilitate their going through all their stages, yet on a Bill that would have assisted 10 million pensioners and put money into their pockets, the Cold Weather Payments (Wind Chill Factor) Bill, the Tories have combined in a sinister conspiracy to stop that Labour Bill getting through?

Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. Michael Morris)

The Chair confirms that two Bills have completed all stages this day.
