Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill (Money) (No. 3)

In a moment. Let me make a tiny bit more progress. I was just pointing out that when the first great reform went into the sands, it was the leader of the Liberal Democrats who pointed out that it was the then Chancellor, the current Prime Minister, who blocked it. The current Home Secretary has said that Labour"““lost the will to carry it through…when narrow party political advantage dominated our internal debate in the Labour Party.””" I fear that the Justice Secretary is moving towards that position again, because the only conclusion that one can reach from the incoherent proposals before us is that they are seen to have a narrow party political advantage for the Government. Many Government Back Benchers, however, can see that the proposals are seriously flawed.
