40. Mr. Butler

To ask the Lord President of the Council what comparative studies he has undertaken of parliamentary procedure in other legislatures.

Mr. MacGregor

My hon. Friend may know that during the last summer recess I paid an official visit to Australia and New Zealand where, amongst other engagements, I had discussions with the Speakers and other parliamentary leaders and officials from both the national and state legislatures.
