00:00Mr Speaker, it is absolutely right for the House to have debated this incredibly important issue today, and in the spirit it has.
00:05And I do want to thank honourable members and right-hand members for that.
00:09As I said, the lies, venality and treachery of Mandelson, shameless House.
00:14And I, the Prime Minister, and I know honourable members all around me, have nothing but contempt for the way he acted and lied to the British people.
00:20I'm glad this will now be shown to the British people.
00:23I share the anger, the disgust of so many other members of this House.
00:27And Mr Speaker, we will comply with this motion, the amended motion.
00:30We will update the House on progress with that.
