Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 November 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill.


Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill

Will the right hon. and learned Gentleman explain something to me? I understand his argument about the knives, but a large part of everybody's argument tonight has been over the fact that four days have been allocated. If that argument is powerful today, why was it not sufficiently powerful on 20 October to get him into the Lobby? There was no dissent to the programme motion on that day.
