Statutory Instruments Act 1946 (Amendment) Bill

House of Commons, 23 February 2024.

Christopher Chope (Conservative, Christchurch)

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. Would it be possible to take all 17 Bills that the Government are objecting to together so that we do not have to go through them seriatim? There are some very worthy Bills among them, but if the Government want to object to all of them, why not just say so now?

Eleanor Laing (Conservative, Epping Forest)

I understand what the hon. Gentleman is saying, but I do not know the Government’s opinion or decision on these Bills and the Government cannot state their position until I have put the question. I will do so properly and in normal order.
