00:00Well personally I've always been against this and voted against it when it was in

00:04the Commons although MPs from my party have voted the other way. It's a very

00:09personal choice and decision but I think it would be wrong if it was derailed by

00:15so many amendments in the Lords. I think the Lords should listen to the Commons

00:19they should hopefully make it a better bill and then let us vote on it again.

00:24I hope when it comes back to the Commons we will defeat the bill that's my

00:27personal view but I don't think it should be stopped in the Lords in this way.
