HC Deb 19 January 1981 vol 997 c19W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether he will move to appoint a Select Committee to study the procedure for Prime Minister's questions with a view to ensuring that more questions are answered.

Mr. Pym

The arrangements for Prime Minister's questions were examined by the Select Committee on Parliamentary Questions in 1971–72 and by the Procedure Committee in 1976–77. I do not consider that the appointment of a further Select Committee would be justified at this stage.
