Business of the House

Proceeding contribution from Peter Grant (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 January 2017. It occurred during Debate on Business of the House.

I was referring not so much to the content of the Bill, but to its extent and limited impact and wondering why we needed so much additional time to table amendments.

I concur with a lot of what has been said. Generally, the public are not interested in procedure, the timing of amendments, what days of the week Bills are debated on and so on. This time, it is important because the procedures of the House are clearly being used to get the result that the Government want.
