The legislation on which the Government is intent, a bullies' charter and a pickpockets' charter, at least deserves full consideration and, given its seriousness, should be scrupulously examined on each Stage. The Government should respect the conventions such as the two-week gap. Why does the Government not do that? It is because it is politically inconvenient and it wants it done and dusted in the vain hope that people will forget, the summer will intervene and the Government will get away with it. It will not get away with this and it should not get away with such clear contempt for parliamentary procedures.
