Afriyie amendments continue to wait hopefully for supporters

Oh dear. Poor old Adam Afriyie. Just over a week ago he was boasting of a ‘cross party’ campaign behind his amendment to James Wharton’s EU referendum bill. Now the updated list of signatures has been supported, and there hasn’t exactly been a stampede of support. Last week, the amendments said this:

Adam Afryie
Keith Vaz
Clause 1, page 1, line 4, leave out ‘before 31 December 2017’ and insert ‘on 23 October 2014’.

Adam Afryie
Keith Vaz
Clause 1, page 1, line 5, leave out subsection (3).

And this week, the updated amendments look like this:

Adam Afryie
Clause 1, page 1, line 4, leave out ‘before 31 December 2017’ and insert ‘on 23
October 2014’.

Adam Afryie
Clause 1, page 1, line 5, leave out subsection (3).

Which is a bit awkward, as the billy-no-mates amendments have even fewer mates than last week.
