Select Committees

HC Deb 21 June 1979 vol 968 c636W

Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will move to set up a Select Committee on local government.

Mr. St. John-Stevas

The House is shortly to consider the general structure of our Select Committee system and the proposals for departmentally related committees put forward by the Procedure Committee. I suggest that the hon. Member awaits that debate.
