§ Mr. AllenTo ask the Lord President of the Council if he will list the reports of the Procedure Committee, published since 1983–84, which have yet to be dealt with on the Floor of the House; and when he expects them to be brought forward for decision.
§ Sir Geoffrey HoweThe following are the reports from the Procedure Committee, published since 1983–84, which have neither been debated on a substantive motion nor "tagged" as relevant to a general debate on procedure: First Report (1988–89) HC 290 ("Conduct of Members in the Chamber and the Alleged Abuse of Parliamentary Privilege"); First Report (1989–90) HC 379 ("Oral Questions"). I hope to be able to give the House an opportunity in the near future to reach a decision on the report on oral questions. There are no immediate plans for a debate on a substantive motion on any of the reports from the Procedure Committee on which the House has not yet reached a specific conclusion.
