HC Deb 29 October 2003 vol 412 c324 1.34 pm
Michael Fabricant (Lichfield)

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I notice that Staffordshire did not get a look-in in that debate, although the hon. Member for Stafford (Mr. Kidney) was rising—

Mr. Speaker

Order. Perhaps Staffordshire will do well next time.

Mr. David Wilshire (Spelthorne)

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. The first item of business this afternoon is a programme motion on the European Parliamentary and Local Elections (Pilots) Bill, but there is no provision for debate. Is there any way of making the House aware that this matter has to be brought before the House because the Government were defeated yesterday in the Bill's Standing Committee?

Mr. Speaker

The hon. Gentleman has made mention of it, so it is now on the record.
