Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 March 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

I have looked, in some detail, into how we could have ordered things differently—[Hon. Members: "More time!"] Well, we had two days on Report, which was exceptional. I will look at the issue again to see whether any lessons can be learnt, but I ask hon. Members to recognise that there was no chicanery. We have no interest in anything other than proper scrutiny of the Bill. I cannot see how we could have tried harder to reach agreement, but I will look at that again.
