Coroners and Justice Bill

My Lords, perhaps I may intervene at this stage. It suddenly occurred to me that we are at Report with a major government amendment that fills some five pages of the Marshalled List setting out the Government’s alternative version. Perhaps I may suggest that the Government intervene at this stage, as we could then have a proper debate. I think that it is open to the House to allow people to speak after the Government if the Government so wish it. I see nods from the appropriate quarters. If the Government set out their case and others respond afterwards, that might give us a better debate and speed up the proceedings of the House. I put that to the noble Lord. He can do what he wishes, but I think that he has received a nod to suggest that that would be appropriate procedure.
