§ 46. Mr. MANDERasked the Prime Minister whether he will consider taking steps to see how far agreement could be reached between all parties in the House that when the next vacancies occur the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of Committees shall be elected by the free choice of the House itself regardless of party considerations?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe hon. Member's suggestion is noted.
§ Mr. MANDERWill the right hon. Gentleman be good enough to consider the question some time before any vacancy is likely to occur, or before the dissolution?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI do not think that anything is likely to occur before the dissolution, and anything beyond that is hypothetical.
§ Mr. H. WILLIAMSHas my right hon. Friend thought of the possibility of lending this building to the Council of Action?
