A reader asks:
Why no point out on the political weblog of the invoice to scrap the two little one cap which efficiently handed the primary stage within the Home of Commons yesterday?
As a result of it was a 10-minute rule invoice, from the SNP MP Kirsty Blackman, that received’t be additional debated, received’t be voted on, received’t go anyplace, and received’t have any affect on authorities pondering.
There was a vote yesterday below the 10-minute rule process, which permits a backbench MP each to suggest a invoice to the home. Yesterday Blackman proposed the invoice, and the Tory MP Peter Bedford argued in opposition to it. There was then a vote on whether or not “go away be given to usher in” the invoice and that handed by 89 votes to 79. And that’s it. With no additional time put aside for Blackman’s invoice, it disappears right into a parliamentary black gap.
Generally I cowl 10-minute rule proceedings as a result of they’ll reveal one thing about how a lot parliamentary assist there may be for a selected propostion. However there was rather a lot else on yesterday. And it was Lib Dems, SNP MPs, independents and some Labour leftwingers voting for the Blackman invoice – all folks whose assist for eradicating the two-child profit cap is well-known.
