The Deregulation Bill passes committee stage after surviving several attempts by labour to scrap large sections of it.

Plans to allow taxi drivers to lend their vehicles to family members when they are off duty - to "lift the burden" of having to run a second family car - were dropped from the bill by the government, with the view to introduce them later as part of a wider package of changes. Labour had previously claimed the reforms could put women and vulnerable passengers at risk of rogue drivers.

The bill will now move to report stage in the House of Lords where peers will get another chance at scrutinising, and possibly amending, the bill.

The debate on Bosnia and Herzegovina has finished, which brings to an end the day's business in the House of Lords.

That wraps up our live text coverage of today's proceedings in Parliament. Please do join us again tomorrow, when both the House of Lords and the House of Commons will return.

Foreign Office Minister Baroness Anelay of St John's tells the House that she shares Lord Ashdown's frustration that Bosnia and Herzegovina is "at a standstill."

She reassures the house that the government is "still active in the resolution of what's happening in the Balkans" and is "determined to move forward."

Responding to the debate for Labour, Baroness Morgan of Ely says she will try on "look on the bright side" of the situation in Bosnia.

Baroness Morgan tells peers that the fact that the Dayton peace deal, the US-brokered act that ended the Balkans war, has led to an "absence of conflict" where there had once been years of war is a "success story".

But, Baroness Morgan explains, Dayton also "bequeathed one of the most complicated electoral systems in the world" which "re-enforced" and "entrenched" ethnic divisions, and in turn led to Bosnia becoming "politically paralysed."

That brings to an end today's business in the House of Commons but do stay with us as we bring you the latest goings-on in the House of Lords, where peers are currently debating the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Transport Minister Robert Goodwill is responding to Cheryl Gillan's adjournment debate on HS2. He notes the MP's concerns about the compensation package available but insists it meets the government's policy objectives, which he lists as fairness, value for money, community cohesion, feasibility, efficiency and the functioning of the housing market.

Although MPs unanimously agreed to pass the Recall of MPs Bill at second reading, there was much criticism of the government's proposals.

Many backbenchers were unhappy that the mechanism gives parliament a role in the process - and pledged to support amendments by Conservative Zac Goldsmith to put the power solely in the hands of voters. The bill as currently drafted would leave the initial trigger in the hands of the Commons Standards Committee, which is mostly made up of MPs.

Concluding his speech, Lord Ashdown apologises to peers for using stronger than usual language in the House of Lords but tells peers he is "depressed" by the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

He tells peers that "for the first time" he cannot discount the fact that Bosnia might slide back into conflict and calls on the government to do more.

"The threat is that Bosnia, unlike the rest of the Balkans which is moving forward, sinks into a black hole of corruption and dysfunctionality", he adds.

It's time for the closing debate of the day - known as an adjournment debate. It is on the compensation package for phase one of HS2, and is being led by Conservative MP Cheryl Gillan - a vocal opponent of the proposed high-speed rail link between London and the West Midlands. Adjournment debates usually last for around half an hour.

The speaker rattles through the remaining orders of the day, after which David Morris, the Conservative MP for Morecambe and Lunesdale, presents a public petition on traffic calming measures on Glentworth Road East in Westgate.

In his final remarks, Deputy Commons Leader Tom Brake says the Recall of MPs Bill is about "providing public accountability in proven cases of wrongdoing" - and commends it to the House. The bill receives an unopposed second reading, meaning it can progress to the next step in the legislative process: committee stage.

Former Liberal Democrat leader Lord Ashdown begins the debate by telling peers that Bosnia and Herzegovina has "gone backwards" over the last five years "in the most dangerous way."

This is despite the fact that Europe has more "leverage and power and influence" in Bosnia and Herzegovina than in any other country.

He blames the decline on a "drowsy apathy in other European capitals" and "the most single failure over the last seven years from Brussels" to act.

Government minister Tom Brake is responding to comments raised by MPs during the nearly six-hour debate on recall, in the remaining minutes left.

Batting for the government, Deputy Commons Leader Tom Brake says the government has aimed to strike a "middle ground" with "sensible and balanced proposals" for a recall mechanism aimed at addressing wrongdoing. The Lib Dem minister says the Recall of MPs Bill aims to provide a "robust, fair and open process" that is suitable this system of parliamentary democracy.

Thomas Docherty reiterates Labour's support for the bill, asserting that where there is "clear evidence of serious wrongdoing", and that the public "has a right to remove or replace their MP".

But he says the legislation does not go far enough, and indicates that the opposition will work to strengthen the proposals to ensure it commands public support. The party will set out its proposed amendments in the next few days, the shadow minister informs MPs.

The Deregulation Bill passes its committee stage in the House of Lords as the government survives a Labour-led attempt to scrap cross-border subcontracting of taxi bookings, winning the vote by 221 to 175, a majority of 46.

Next, peers will take part in a debate on the current situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, led by former High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina Lord Ashdown.

Bosnia-Herzegovina's recent election was hampered by divisions as nationalist candidates from all three ethnic groups won the race for Bosnia's tripartite presidency. The three-member collective presidency was established as part of the US-brokered Dayton peace deal that ended the war following the collapse of the former Yugoslavia.

Tensions between Bosniaks (Muslims), Serbs and Croats have persisted since the 1992-95 war in which 100,000 died. The conflict centred on whether Bosnia should be in the Yugoslav Federation or an independent country.

Peers are voting on the government's plans to allows cross-border subcontracting of taxi bookings.

The plans, which make up clause 12 of the Deregulation Bill, would lead to taxi bookings being passed to any operator around the UK, regardless of their location.

Labour claims it would also allow a watering down of taxi licensing and could lead to private hire vehicle drivers opting to get licensed in the "least-stringent" area while at the same time leaving licensing authorities without the enforcement powers over those then operating outside of the area.

It's time for the winding-up speeches now, beginning with the opposition. Shadow deputy leader of the Commons Thomas Docherty begins by expressing his disappointment that Lib Dem leader and Deputy PM Nick Clegg has not been present in the debate, given that the bill is in his name.

Intervening, Labour's Islington MP Jeremy Corbyn warns that the media could attempt to - and succeed - in getting rid of an MP that takes unpopular decisions through a systematic and well-funded media campaign. But Graham Stuart contends that it would only be for voters in an MP's constituency to initiate a recall process, not the media.
