Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill

With permission, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Of course I agree with all the comments that have been made, and of course the House must have adequate time to scrutinise this legislation. However, listening to this debate—an interesting and revealing debate—one would think that the Government were allowing no time at all. I am very grateful to the hon. Member for East Antrim (Sammy Wilson), who at last mentioned one of the Committee scrutinies of the Bill. I have here the report of the Joint Committee on the Draft Constitutional Renewal Bill. The Bill was published in draft and reported on by that Committee, and it has also been reported on by the Public Administration Committee.
