Q24. Mr. Beith

asked the Prime Minister whether he has transferred to his right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Home Department his responsibility for referring subjects to Speaker's Conferences.

Mr. Foot

I have been asked to reply.

The answer to the hon. Member's Question is "No", but my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary is the Minister responsible for policy on matters of electoral law which a Speaker's Conference might consider.
