Pairing only works when parliamentary business is uncontroversial and both sides of the House ultimately recognise the Executive’s right to govern and to control the business of the legislature.

None of those conditions apply at present. There are too many whip-defying rebels on both sides. I just don’t see how pairing can work, unless they’re limiting business to strictly non-Brexit related items of business.
