The restrictions placed on the House while we were at COVID-19 alert levels 3 and 4 resulted in a very significant reduction in the number of hours available to the Government to progress its legislative programme, and that has caused delays to many of the bills that I have just mentioned. With the House soon to be out of action again for a couple of months during the campaign, there is a need to ensure that much of the legislation on the Order Paper is progressed without any delay.
