Proceeding contribution from David Wright (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 July 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Draft Legislative Programme.


Draft Legislative Programme

I very much welcome the Government’s move to increase scrutiny prior to the publication of Bills and draft Bills. Would my right hon. and learned Friend consider opportunities to lay out at an early point the amount of time each Bill will take during a Session, and how much time will be made available on the Floor of the House? In particular, could we consider opportunities to have two-day debates for the Second Reading of Bills, particularly for important ones?
