§ Baroness ThorntonMy Lords, I beg to move that this Bill do now pass.
I want to place on record that this Bill is a testament to a three-year campaign run by my honourable friend Mr Paul Truswell to fill a huge loophole in the licensing laws. His campaign was precipitated by the tragic and early death of a young man from his constituency, David Knowles. David's parents, Mr and Mrs Knowles, also deserve the highest praise for their wonderful support for this Bill at a time of great personal grief. This is David Knowles' Bill. I thank Members from all sides of the House who have supported the Bill. I beg to move that the Bill do now pass.
Moved, That the Bill do now pass.—(Baroness Thornton.) On Question, Bill passed.
