 * Symbol question.svg Date and length fine. However I do have a quibble with the hook. The hook claims he proposed the bill but the article says he sponsored it which I am not too sure are synonymous in political terms. I'd feel much more comfortable if the hook was more consistent with the article before I pass this.  The C of E  God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 19:00, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * , fair enough. I've added ALT1, above using "sponsoring" (rather than "proposing"), and still stayed under the hook limit. Alansohn (talk) 19:18, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Much better. Hook 199 characters, QPQ done, no close paraphrasing. Good to go.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 19:22, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
