§ 66. Mr. Ioan Evansasked the Lord President of the Council if he will advise the setting up of a Royal Commission on the constitution to consider the future role of the Houses of Parliament and their relationship with the regions and the European Parliament.
§ Mr. FootThe terms of reference of the major review which is currently being undertaken by the Select Committee on Procedure include many aspects of the role of Parliament and the way in which the House carries out its functions, including the scrutiny of European Community legislation. I suggest the House should await the outcome of that review.
