Colleagues
Friday 5th July is the first Private Members Bills day. Mr James Wharton was fortunate to secure pole position in the draw. Could colleagues please amend their diaries to ensure that they will be here to support James.This is a THREE LINE WHIP.Robert GoodwillGovernment Pairing Whip
Wharton speaks:
“I will be bringing forward a Bill to give people a say on our membership & hope MPs from across the political divide will support me. Like many people I am not old enough to have had a say when the original 1975 referendum took place. I think it is time for people to have their say again & I am delighted to get the opportunity to bring forward this important Bill.”
Here we go…
UPDATE:
If Tories really are 3-line whipping private member's Bill, presumably Ken Clarke is resigning? Or just organising urgent birdwatching trip
