The Bill will be seen to be in the interests of the people, notwithstanding the fact that they have a democratic right to protest against it. This is good for people's health, employment and the development of the economy. Members can have as much time as they wish. At such short notice, I cannot arrange a sitting on Saturday and Sunday, but if more time is needed, it will be available. The debate will not be guillotined.
