I throw myself entirely upon the mercy of the House and the good will of Conservative colleagues and, more particularly, of Labour Members, among whom I probably have more friends. Friend is a student of parliamentary matters, he will have watched closely Friday proceedings on other private Member's Bills. He will know that the problem is not whether Members obstruct a Bill but whether 40 of the 660 Members of Parliament 660 bother to turn up on a parliamentary day to express their view. That may turn out to be his main problem. My right hon.
Friend correctly analyses the problem that has been encountered on previous Fridays by other hon.
However, I should tell him that in the various reaches of the Palace, I have legions in my support. I am struggling in the face of a number of interventions. Gentleman whether he gives way. Friend for assisting me. It is cheap, readily available and quickly provides a dense screen that grows well in a wide range of soil and weather conditions.
