HC Deb 12 January 2000 vol 342 c397

Question proposed, That this schedule be the Second schedule to the Bill.

Mr. Simon Hughes

I have one question for the Minister, and I will understand if he says that he cannot give me an answer now, but I would be grateful in that case if he would write to me. Schedule 2 amends the Representation of the People Act 1985 in relation to the franchise for the European parliamentary elections. The question that is often asked, when there is an opportunity, is when the Government will bring forward the legislative changes to make sure that the people of Gibraltar can vote in the European parliamentary elections, as they are entitled to do following the European Court ruling that says that they must be able to vote.

Mr. Mike O'Brien

I shall write to the hon. Gentleman.

Question put and agreed to.

Schedule 2 agreed to.

Schedule 3 agreed to.

To report progress and ask leave to sit again.— [Mr. Mike Hall.]

Committee report progress; to sit again tomorrow.
