When I was a junior Minister in the House of Commons, a Bill was being filibustered and I sat not only to midnight but to breakfast, and to lunch the following day. Eventually, we got the Bill through. So it is in the hands of the House, even if the Front Benches are quite reluctant, because they do not like to take their sticky claws off controlling the agenda of the House. But, if they cannot find a way, there are other ways in which the debate can be reasonably finished and addressed this time.
