Maybe you should add here that the Bill was passed up to the House of Lords where it was defeated and time had run out before it could be handed back to the Commons.
The interesting thing is that the Bill disappeared for this Parliament sitting where it would only require to be voted once again through the Commons and no matter what the outcome in the Lords it could still be introduced as Law by the Parliament Act.
Seems to me it may of been convieniently forgot but Labour did try to pass the bill. I'm interested to see what the election manifesto will hold and also if it is mentioned this November in the Queen's Speech.
