the question here arises i around what happen specifically in the house of commons itself, where mps stions and instead as a representative also from the foreign office who does things like foreign office who does things like foreign office questions where mps office who does things like foreign office questions where mp5 get to ask questions on a fairly regular basis. but what the government has said is that there is also the foreign affairs select committee which is where there are mps foreign affairs select committee which is where there are mp5 from different parties who all get to ask questions and lord cameron will face questions and lord cameron will face questions there, so any sense, he is facing questions from mp through one forum, but not through the kind of more regular, more usual way in which that would happen, and that has provoked a lot of controversy about whether or not it is appropriate, but there are, as you heard there, examples of times when similar things have happened and it is unusual but is not unprecedented and i think rishi sunak will hope with his answer t

everyone in the house of _ a chance to amend the bill. everyone in the house of commons house of commons would - in the house of commons would effectively be on that committee and effectively be on that committee and effectively have the chance to table an amendment to the bill and have it tested in the commons. it seems to me that's the best way to deal with the political divisions created by the legislation itself. give everyone a chance to have their say, give everyone a vote on the issue, and then whatever people say, it will be the democratically expressed will of the elected parliament. there are a lot of nervous government ministers walking the corridors here right now after those warhorses of the brexit years said, put the bill to one side. hushed conversations in the corridors and lobbying by cabinet ministers of backbench conservative mps. all in all, rishi sunak knows he has an almighty challenge on his hands. caution from ministers. hello, nick. always a pleasure to see you. how are you? i have been in the middle east, and working on ukraine today, so i am af

house of - over the next few hours. there will. be a debate in the house of commons, individual mps stand up and say what they think of thequests for changes, make their own speeches. and sometimes, they will indicate quite clearly what they are going to do this evening or what they plan to do. others will not make that at all clear. it is only when the bells finally rang and they go through the lobbies here in parliament, they vote yes or no or they don't vote at all that we will know for certain what is happening. and it is worth pointing out there are three options. you can vote for this bill vote against it or that middle option of abstention is where the prime minister could be in trouble. it would take around 70 or so, depending on exactly how you work the maths, 70 or so abstentions for the government to be defeated. but that is certainly something those mps who don't like this, don't quite want to vote against it, it is something some of them are looking at and i think it is very feasible that even among those who don't like this bill, you could have a three—way split this evening of some of them voting for it and

it is appropriate for you to appoint members of the cabinet and house of commons and the house of lock, but there is concern about how elected members of the house of commons can properly scrutinize a state based in the house of locke, and we are talking about growth issues here, so i wonder how you think it might be most appropriate for the house of commons to criticize the work? >> thank you. it is common practice to appoint secretaries in the house of laws , and that whole situation in 2008 and 2009, there was an established process to scrutiny, which has been in operation a long time. they do to appear before the house of commons yesterday and we have to increase the amount of time [indiscernible] but the last thing i would say is the foreign office also has another cabinet level minister, which is in the commons, obviously, -- >> it will not have the normal scrutiny p.m. sunak: in one sense, i will just echo what i said. this is not an unprecedented situation. we have had senior labour peers who were in cabinet from the house of lordstwo at once, in fact, for the last year and a h

the bill has been introduced in the house of commons, had its second reading, which means the house ofns has agreed in principle to pass this legislation. next what will happen in the new year is we will happen in the new year is we will go into the more detailed stages where it is possible for specific changes to the bill to be proposed. he's got to see whether he can offer something to those who are unhappy that the bill isn't strong enough, while while not upsetting those who fear it is already too strong, it needs to go through those stages in the house of commons and then of course it has to go to the house of lords and go through all the same stages there. so the legislative process is far from over. what about other challenges that it could face? some expert lawyers have described the legislation as potentially setting up a fight with the supreme court and the european court of human rights. just explain why. so although the bill tries to shut down various different grounds for appeal against asylum seekers being removed to rwanda, which have been used to date, it does leave ope

it is a big - deal when the government is defeated in the house of commons, this is the first time theertain way in this parliament, since 2019. but this is also a serious issue of substance. this is a scandal dating back about half a century, to the 70s and 80s, when thousands of people were given contaminated blood treatments or transfusions which turns out to be infected with hepatitis c or hiv. there is a long—running public inquiry and thejudge there is a long—running public inquiry and the judge chairing that has already said he believes interim payments should be made to the victims orfamilies of payments should be made to the victims or families of some victims who have since died. the government wanted to wait until the inquiry had completely concluded before setting up completely concluded before setting up the architecture for dispensing these payments, but what the house of commons has done is short—circuited that process, spurred hout up a lot, it could end “p spurred hout up a lot, it could end up being a very expensive compensation process for the treasury, billions of p

house of lords. even if rishi sunak does manage to get it through the house of commons in the new year and that's a prettye of lords. and as we know, the house of lords is much more left leaning than the house of commons. only a third of peers are actually conservative. so it's very likely what it's very likely that what happensin it's very likely that what happens in the is the bill happens in the lords is the bill gets amended then gets massive, amended and then sent back to commons in sent back to the commons in what's known as parliamentary ping what's known as parliamentary ping it again , sent ping pong. amend it again, sent back lords. this could back to the lords. this could take months and months and months and by the end of it the bill could be completely unrecognisable to the that unrecognisable to the one that rishi sunak put on the table yesterday. indeed that's olivia utley political utley our political correspondent in westminster. >> we're delighted say join >> we're delighted to say join us studio for the first us in the studio for the first time is the barrister and columnist perspective
