HC Deb 15 May 1978 vol 950 cc5-6W
30. Mr. Mikardo

asked the Lord President of the Council if he will refer to the Select Committee on Procedure (Sessional) the procedures of the House in relation to Private Members' Bills with a view to recommending improvements in those procedures.

Mr. Foot

This could come within the comprehensive review of our procedures being undertaken by the Select Committee on Procedure. I doubt whether the House would wish to set up any separate inquiry on this matter until that Committee had reported on Bill procedures generally.
