Notes:

Statistics relating to reports of Select Committees referred to on the Order Paper for Sessions 1965–66 to 1978–79 inclusive are not readily available; the following list therefore only covers Session 1979–80 onwards. Prior to 1979 the practice of "tagging" debates when Select Committee reports were relevant was less frequently used. Practice also changed following the repeal of the Standing Order relating to Business of Supply on 19 July 1982 and its replacement by a new Standing Order relating to Consideration of Estimates, with effect from the following Session. Full information relating to the current Session will appear in the Sessional Return.In addition there have often been debates (notably in respect of procedure, or the working of the House, but also on other matters) where reports of Select Committees have been relevant to, or mentioned in, the debate but have not been referred to on the Order Paper.
