Banking (Special Provisions) Bill

My Lords, I would like to seriously support—I am sorry: I split an infinitive. I would very much like to support my noble friend on the question of the Government’s abuse of Parliament and all the rest of it. Time and again in the Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill, chunks of things have gone wrong. The House of Commons is guillotined, guillotined and guillotined—Robespierre would be proud. I remember when I was first here the row when Michael Foot introduced a fifth guillotine in one Session and it was considered to be appalling. This Government do not pay attention to Parliament and anything that we can do in this House to make them pay more attention and to listen to our tiresome and irritating voices—which is the point of Parliament—the more we should stick to our guns and do something about it.
