Hypocrisy is "taking back control" then not allowing appropriate scrutiny of proposed new Bills.
Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 underwent detailed scrutiny in 24 committee sittings
Immigration Act 2014 had 11 committee sittings and received 66 pieces of written evidence
Immigration Act 2016 had 15 committee sessions and received 55 written pieces of evidence.
Illegal Immigration Bill - two Readings in the HoC, two days in the Committee of the Whole House, then a Third Reading in the HoC before going to the Lords (now in its Second Reading) with no opportunity for evidence taking.
