Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill

No, I am afraid that I must make progress. The Bill is before us at a time when it is perhaps more important than ever that we make every effort to restore trust in our constitutional settlement and in our political and parliamentary institutions. Building on the process of reform that this Government began in 1997, which The Guardian newspaper heralded as revolutionary, the Bill will increase the accountability and legitimacy of British democracy and better ensure that power lies where it should—with Parliament and the people. I commend the Bill to the House.
