text_body: --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  <p>The Aye-voters failed to change the motion for debate to:</p>
  
  <p class="indent">This House declines to give the <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200405/cmbills/052/2005052.htm"> Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Bill</a> a Second Reading because the Bill focuses predominantly on urban issues while neglecting rural areas, creates another unnecessary quango and brings local authorities into conflict with police and other authorities which currently exercise powers in relation to abandoned vehicles and stray dogs; because the Bill introduces provisions, such as clearing up chewing gum as extensively and frequently as litter, which will be prohibitively expensive yet fail to take account of producer responsibility; and because the Bill contains many unnecessary provisions which would not be needed if existing legislation were properly enforced.</p>
  
  <p>The Bill is now sent to be scrutinized by <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm/cmclean.htm">Standing Committee G</a> before it returns to the debating chamber for a further vote for it then to go to the House of Lords before it can become Law.</p>
