Part of Delegated Legislation – in the House of Commons at 5:45 pm on 15 September 2020.
On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. There are thousands—in fact, tens of thousands—of people who will be observing these proceedings and will have noticed that the Government have contrived to prevent this House of Commons from being able to have a substantive vote on some of the most repressive legislation we have ever seen in our democracy. My right hon. Friend Sir Desmond Swayne and I are but two among many Members who object to what is going on, and all I can say is that revenge is a dish best served cold.
