HC Deb 31 March 1977 vol 929 c205W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Lord President of the Council (1) whether he will make a statement giving details of the Members of Parliament with whom he discussed Government business since Wednesday 23rd March; and what action Members have to take to be included in such discussions;

(2) whether, in view of the Government's new proposals for discussing with certain groups of Members of Parliament Government programmes, intentions and legislative proposals, he will take the necessary action to extend this practice so as to include all parties in the House within such discussions.

Mr. Foot

Government Ministers are always available to discuss Government business with the representatives of all parties as appropriate.
