HC Deb 20 January 1971 vol 809 c283W
Mr. Wilkinson

asked the Lord President of the Council whether, in order to increase the opportunities for back bench Members to raise matters of constituency concern, he will consider recommending, apart from Mr. Speaker's own selection, an equal selection of subjects per week to be debated on the Adjournment between those randomly chosen by Ballot and those chosen in order of chronological application.

Mr. Whitelaw

I have no doubt the Procedure Committee will have noted my hon. Friend's suggestion.
