Guardian Unlimited Politics - Ask Aristotle: Eric Martlew MP
EricMartlew's private member's bill (which would make it an offence to allow a child to cycle without a helmet) failed to achieve its second reading.
At 11:55, Eric Forth, MP, called for a vote to go into private session, a procedural motion designed to curtail the debate and allow the next Bill to be discussed.
