HC Deb 27 November 1972 vol 847 cc42-3W
Sir Robin Turton

asked the Lord President of the Council whether the Government have yet reached their conclusion with regard to the Sixth Report from the Select Committee on Procedure for the 1971–72 session.

Mr. Prior

The Government accept the conclusion in the Sixth Report from the Select Committee on Procedure. There may, however, be occasions when it would be appropriate to continue to follow the recent precedents of deferring opposed Private Business by motion until after Government business has been disposed of.
