Here (at 12.58.05), in under 30 seconds, is the former
Attorney General and MP for Beaconsfield, Dominic Grieve, introducing two
Presentation Bills today:
They are of no small current interest. The two bills are (1)
the European Union (Preparation) Bill and (2) a European Union Referendum Bill.
By chance, immediately after, another
Bill is introduced under the 10 Minute Rule procedure.
The ‘Low-Level Letterboxes
(Prohibition) Bill’.
One distinguished legal commentator quipped yesterday that it could “quickly be amended to become
the Banning of Low-level Letterboxes and Extension of Article 50 Bill”.
It's not abundantly clear if he was aware then
of the proximity of Dominic Grieve’s Presentation Bill.
The icing on the cake of these
curious examples of parliamentary procedure follows the 10 Minute Rule Bill as
the Leader of the Opposition speaks to the Motion of No Confidence in H.M.
Government he has tabled.
Bills, Bills, Bills.
