In Parliament

I apologise for interrupting my right hon. Friend’s excellent speech.

It is, although I cannot follow my hon.

It is a pleasure to speak to new clause 1, which is signed by a cross-party group of MPs who all believe that Parliament should have the rig

I will come to that in a minute, because it does not, and that is the whole point of the new clause.

I ask the right hon. Gentleman not to tempt me beyond my new clause. I always happy to look at this issue, and I believe in debate.

I agree. I was not so certain about this, so I looked at what Lord Lisvane, the one-time chief Clerk in the House, said about it.

I enjoy the idea that my hon. Friend puts such trust in Government never to take other arrangements into consideration.
