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 agree and I recognise that, but I think that Governments too often use that process, and it occasionally suits Oppositions to agree with them. It is better that we delay and debate. I will conclude with the wise words of my predecessor, now Lord Tebbit. When I first came here, I asked him, �How will I know whether I am right or wrong?� He said, �You�ll be wrong if you�re not speaking and arguing. You�re right if you�re arguing and you�re speaking. That�s what you were sent here for.�
