HC Deb 17 April 1989 vol 151 c66W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Lord President of the Council if he will bring forward proposals to end the current procedure of queuing for ten-minute Bills, and to institute a sytem of ballots which limits hon. Members to one Bill per Parliament.

Mr. Wakeham

Discussions have been taking place through the usual channels about possible changes in the arrangements for giving notice of ten-minute Bills. I have also asked the Select Committee on Procedure for its opinion, but I am not yet in a position to bring forward any proposals.
