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

It is not my fault if the Committee did not do its job; I was not on the Committee. I did not frame this disgraceful motion; the Government did. I did not put on a statement earlier, knowing that this important business was to follow; the Government did. For the hon. Gentleman to seek somehow to blame me for the fact that we find ourselves in this invidious parliamentary position will not do.
