Mr. Dribergasked the Lord President of the Council if he will move to amend the Standing Orders of the House so that Bills which have reached their Committee stage at the time of the Dissolution of Parliament need not be reintroduced in a new Parliament, and 224W so that the discussion of them can continue from the point at which it was suspended, at the discretion of the incoming Administration or of the private Members originally in charge of each Bill.
