After PMQs today, Theresa May will give a statement on Russia – and the government’s proposed response to the attempted murder of a former Russian double agent on British soil. Then there will be a ten minute rule motion on ‘supervised drug consumption facilities’ and after that a ‘general debate’ will commence on European Affairs. This will run on through the afternoon until 7pm – and should any MPs not have the chance to offer their two cents worth, they need not fear as there is a second day of general debate planned.
Given that it’s now 380 days until Britain leaves the EU, you’d be forgiven for thinking there may be a better way for MPs to be spending their time. After all, the statute book could hardly be described as ‘Brexit-ready’ right now. As research this week highlighted, this government has a big problem when it comes to legislation.
