Mr Speaker
I am aiming to run this until around quarter to 12, so it would therefore be helpful if we could have briefer questions and answers.
Mr Peter Bone (Wellingborough) (Con)
The Leader of the House said that he was very much in favour of scrutiny, as I am sure he is. Standing Orders require us to have 13 days for private Members’ Bills in a Session, but when a Session is more than a year, as this one is going to be, the Government have usually provided additional days. Could we have a statement on when these Bills are going to be debated?
Mr Rees-Mogg
My hon. Friend is slightly putting the cart before the horse in that we will need to see the length of the Session before we decide on the additional days—although I do wonder why he wants them. Is it merely so that he can filibuster a greater number of Bills?
