Health and Social Care Bill (Programme) (No. 3)

I winder whether my right hon. Friend heard the Leader of the House say to the Hansard Society that"““it has simply become too easy for the Government to sideline Parliament; to push Bills through without adequate scrutiny; and to see the House more as a rubber-stamp than a proper check on executive authority.””" He also said that, in the Government's view,"““a strong Parliament leads to a better Government.””" Does my right hon. Friend believe that the Bill, and the very shortened debate on its recommittal, constitute a good illustration of that?
