Proceeding contribution from Lord Watson of Wyre Forest (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 July 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Bill.

May I parry the hon. Gentleman with another Act? The Academies Act 2010 was introduced on 26 May and received Royal Assent on 27 July. The complex Terrorist Asset-Freezing etc. Bill had First

Reading on 15 July 2010 and received Royal Assent on 16 December. If we can pass legislation in three days in an emergency, it is not beyond the wit of man and woman to pass legislation in six months.
