Taking all business, however, in September as a whole, we sat for 27 hours in three weeks outside our customary sitting times, and that was not just on the planning Bill. The specific problem with the planning Bill is not obstruction by any party in this House; it is that the Bill is too long and is still being rewritten. We have heard that there were 134 amendments from these parts of the House, but 67 more have just been slapped down by the Government.
