Coronavirus Bill

Proceeding contribution from Steve Baker (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 March 2020. It occurred during Debate on bills on Coronavirus Bill.

I welcome the spirit in which the hon. Gentleman is making his speech and also his proposal for a review at six months. I certainly support that, but does he agree that we could also sunset the powers in the Bill after one year and that the Government could then bring forward a Bill—there is plenty of time between now and then—that would go through Parliament about this time next year and make whatever changes proved to be necessary between now and then? Doing that—a six-month review and, after a year, a Bill—would not involve us signing off on two years today.
