Criminal Defence Service Bill [Lords] (Programme) (No. 2)

The right hon. Gentleman has only himself to blame. I understand from Members who sat on the Committee that four sittings were allocated for scrutiny of the Bill, but that consideration lasted only about half an hour. There was the opportunity to scrutinise the Bill at that stage, and we have further opportunities now, but he is letting the Government get away with not debating the substance of the Bill. Will he put his great eloquence on hold and call his Division?
