HC Deb 23 November 1987 vol 123 c76W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Lord Privy Seal what response he has made to the recommendations of the First Report from the Select Committee on Procedure, Session 1986–87, HC157, relating to the parliamentary calendar.

Mr. Wakeham

Ministerial views on the matters dealt within this report were given in written and oral evidence to the Committee. I am at present considering the most appropriate way in which this, and other recent reports of the Procedure Committee, might be brought before the House.

Mr. Alien

To ask the Lord Privy Seal if he intends to propose the establishment of a Select Committee on Procedure.

Mr. Wakeham

The establishment of Select Committees is a matter for the House. I hope to bring forward proposals when the necessary consultations are completed.
