b) We're out of time with CRAG Act. 18 November was the last day for a treaty to be laid & give enough time for 21 sitting days in both Houses.

g) The only other option would be an interim period, post transition... a transition from transition so to speak.
h) The 2 possible sitting days next week suggest emergency legislation to me.
Anyone else thinking similarly?
