Mr. Gummer: There is no question of an undertaking being given. The motion is a timetable motion--a guillotine--tabled on the basis that there is no alternative. No one asked Conservative Front Benchers whether they wanted an agreement. I shall vote against the proposal because I am not prepared to support Bills that are guillotined unless there are changes to the system.
The Bill, in fact, is supported, not opposed, by our Front Benchers. In such circumstances, in a civilised society, agreement would be reached between the two sides, but that has not happened. The Government have produced an end date and told the Opposition that that is it. That is not agreement. [Interruption.] The Minister can say what he likes, but there can be no agreement when he has not told our spokesmen how many hours of debate he will allow. Until he is prepared to do so, and until he agrees to allow us every hour that our Front Benchers want, no agreement can be reached.
I am not prepared to agree to a guillotine motion--either as a Back Bencher or, perhaps, as a maverick--until those who seek good legislation are given enough time to achieve it and to represent their constituents.
