The hon. Member for Wandsworth, Central (Mr. Adams), was more than unjust when he said that my right hon. and learned Friend evaded the issue this afternoon. The trouble was that the hon. Gentleman completely missed the issue. Does he believe that the Government should be able to go through all these Orders and Regulations in 14 days and bring forward a review at this time? It is only 14 days since the Government came into Office.
