Parliamentary Standards Bill

I would have attempted to intervene on the right hon. Member for Chingford and Woodford Green (Mr. Duncan Smith), as I wholeheartedly agree with his point that the House is constantly abrogating our responsibility adequately to scrutinise legislation and sending it to the other place to do the job for us. That is even more pertinent when it comes to a Bill that relates to the regulation of Parliament. I hope that my right hon. Friend will address that issue, because the way the Government guillotine such legislation is a disgrace.
