HC Deb 17 June 1968 vol 766 cc101-2W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will seek to ensure that all decisions taken by the Services Committee, and the reasons for such decisions, as they affect the House as a whole, are made available to hon. Members in written form at the Vote Office.

Mr. Peart

The recommendations of the Services Committee are contained either in Reports to the House, which are available in the Vote Office or in reports to Mr. Speaker. Recommendations which affect the House as a whole, but are not of sufficient importance to be included in a Report to the House, are brought to the notice of Members either by means of answers to Questions, or by a notice in the all-party whip. An order of the House would be required to report the Minutes of the Proceedings of the Committee after each meeting, but I propose to consider the possibility of including such an order in the Order of Reference of the Committee, when it is appointed next Session.
