Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill

My right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Sleaford and North Hykeham (Mr. Hogg) has raised an interesting problem, and I should like to ask the Government why they chose seven days. Do they know something that we do not that guarantees that there can be a resolution within seven days, or is it that seven days take us to the point at which they would like to adjourn the House for a stunning 10 weeks, which are completely free for proper scrutiny, analysis and questioning? I fear that it is the latter, and I should have thought that more time is needed, given the apparent gap that still exists between my right hon. and learned Friend and the Government.
