We need a proposer and seconder for each nomination to the committee.
I also congratulate the mover and seconder of the motion.
I am rather surprised that neither the proposer nor the seconder devoted any thought to that side of the problem.
The seconder said that, as far as he knew, it was between £350,000,000 and £400,000,000.
The seconder said it would encourage the consumption of food.
The mover and seconder could both be said to have seats which are marginal.
I think that, in our parliamentary elections, we have to put down 10 assentors—one proposer, one seconder and eight others.
Neither the proposer nor the seconder seems to have envisaged what those difficulties are or made any attempt to show how to meet them.
The mover and seconder both spoke most moderately and persuasively.
