  Political Parties and Elections Bill - To carry-over to next session
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  The majority of MPs voted to allow the [http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200708/cmbills/141/08141.i-ii.html Political Parties and Elections Bill] to be carried over to the next Parliamentary session in case it ran out of time in the current session.  
  
  This was likely to be necessary as it had only just received its Second Reading.[1]
