Just checked the internet to find out what an adjournment debate actually is (it sounds impressive, but is it just another version of an Early Day Motion?).
Seems that this is the last debate of the day which, on Tuesday's, is at 10pm. I can't imagine too many back benchers are still there but to be fair to Bob this is a formal debate and calls for a response from a government minister. It will not result in any kind of vote but it sounds better than an early day motion.
Hear! Hear!
Well done Bob. I can't help but feel that we are fighting a bit of a losing battle (Administrators report hasn't helped, ACL seem to have gone quiet, potential investors have gone very quiet) but I'm just pleased that there are some people out there who are not letting this drop. I know most fans are still resolute and hopefully NOPM will eventually yield results, but in terms of keeping the profile up, Bob is doing a great job.

Does the privilege mean he can basically say anything he wants with no comes backs of legal action?
www.parliament.uk said:Parliamentary privilege
Parliamentary privilege has two main components:
•Freedom of speech, which is guaranteed by Article IX of the Bill of Rights 1689
•The exercise by Parliament of control over its own affairs, known technically as ‘exclusive cognisance’.
The privilege of freedom of speech protects what is said in debate in either House. As Article IX states:
That the freedom of speech and debates or proceedings in Parliament ought not to be impeached or questioned in any court or place out of Parliament.
The Joint Committee on Parliamentary Privilege set out the modern interpretation of Article IX in 1999, as follows:
... The modern interpretation is now well established: that article 9 and the constitutional principle it encapsulates protect members of both Houses from being subjected to any penalty, civil or criminal, in any court or tribunal for what they have said in the course of proceedings in Parliament.
As for Cunningham & Robinson, mmmmmm.
So you can go in there and just make random stuff up like Tony Blair had sex with a dog etc with no come backs?
What does concern me though is if he is so confident of his facts and points, why does he need to hide behind the parliament thing? It is good that it is getting the situation out there though.
