Steamy Tea, why the word 'worrying?'
It was pushed though Parliament without proper debate.

Thanks for that, I don't remember that bill too well other than I agreed with it.

Mind you getting through Parliament without proper debate seems to me there was a little thing called 'Brexit' that experienced something similar to this as well? Or am I wrong? And how many times I wonder, if any, other bills over the past ten years have gone through like this? I don't have a good political memory about these sorts of things I'm afraid.

The fox hunting laws were debated long and hard in the Commons, it was the Lords who rejected it.  In that case I think the Gov were ok to force it through as they had a mandate to do so, whereas the Lords might be seen as being non-democratic and many with vested interests?  However, the bill/act are fairly widely consider to be badly drawn up - I think that much is clear, whichever side of the hunting ban you are on.


GWM - not that often - the article states four times since 1949.
