Business of the House

Proceeding contribution from Iain Duncan Smith (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 April 2019. It occurred during Debate on Business of the House.

I am genuinely grateful to the hon. Gentleman for giving way. I ask him this simple question. He has complained throughout this Parliament and the long time he has been here that, since the Blair Government brought in programme motions, Governments have cut and curtailed time for debate�he finds that reprehensible, and I agree with him. So why, when a Bill is introduced with such a tight timetable, does he not think that that creates an excellent precedent for the Government to use again and again? Will he complain about that in future?
