Asked if there had been any talks between the Prime Minister and Lord Strathclyde, and if the Government was confident that the deadline would be met, the PMS said that our intention was to meet that timetable. We were making parliamentary time available to ensure that that happened. There would be some late night sittings this week.
Asked if a guillotine would be introduced, the PMS said that we believed we would see the legislation enacted to the timetable outlined.
Asked if No 10 thought that the Lords had a right constitutionally to block this because it wasn’t in the manifesto, the PMS said that the Lords were clearly going to have views on this and they would be making them known this week. The Government’s position was clear: we had a package we intended to implement and that would be within the timetable. We were going to press ahead with both parts of the Bill.
