Thomas Docherty (Dunfermline and West Fife) (Lab)
I will be even briefer than I have been by my standard today; we have important business to discuss.
I thank the Procedure Committee for its work. It is right that the Political and Constitutional Reform Committee offered no substantive evidence that requiring signification by a Privy Counsellor in person had delayed Bills—Governments have found enough ways to hold up Bills that they do not particularly like—and we therefore think this is a sensible way forward.
