HC Deb 24 December 1929 vol 233 c2102
45. Captain BOURNE

asked the Prime Minister whether he proposes to ask this. House to appoint a Select Committee to review the Standing Orders relating to Private Business; and, if so, when will such Committee be set up?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)

Since the Resolution of the House on the 13th November last, the review of Standing Orders relating to-Private Business has been under consideration, and I hope it may be possible-to consider the appointment of a Select Committee soon after the House reassembles.
