329 pages, 27 schedules - a huge Bill which in normal times would receive months of pre-legislative / legislative scrutiny, and dozens of amendments, most of them tabled or accepted by Government. /2

These are not normal times of course, and I am sure the urgency is justified. But having legislated in haste (and reportedly, without divisions), surely Parliament must have a chance to revisit it before 2 years are up. /3

This Bill is after all quite out of the ordinary in the powers that it asks Parliament to confer. /4

Detailed and informed commentary on this platform will be of huge value to those of us seeking to understand the Bill. /5
