You’re not going to tell me now that this Bill wasn’t “cobbled” together in one day, when a motion was carried for it to pass the Commons in a single day now are you?
The Benn Bill, again went through the Commons, in quick style in a Single day, thus, another Bill “Cobbled” together. The fact that both Bills, didn’t go through Lords the same day is irrelevant. Both Bills, are as defined “cobbled” together, because the normal timetable for them passing each stage was bypassed. |
I suspect by "cobbled together" Hugh means the bill being researched, stakeholders consulted on, drafted, legally assessed, redrafted, consulted on again, etc and not merely presenting the finished article to Parliament.
