HC Deb 01 March 1983 vol 38 c76W
Mr. McKelvey

asked the Lord President of the Council if he will propose a system whereby reports of Select Committees can be discussed promptly by the House by setting aside parliamentary time for a given number of reports.

Mr. Biffen

No. In view of the many urgent matters that compete for parliamentary time, I do not think it would be appropriate to allocate time to the debate of a given number of Select Committee reports.
