Indeed, Red. As was previously pointed out (by Howard, if memory serves), PMB's aren't necessarily intended to enact legislation, but also simply to draw attention to things that might otherwise not get any parliament time at all. That governments use PMBs for their own purposes & therefore eat into backbenchers' time is part of Chope's reasons for objecting (& I'll say it again for the hard of comprehension, I've no opinion on whether or not it's right that MPs can object in this fashion). And I've managed to avoid saying anything about 'back doors!'

Ooooops!
