§ 41. Mrs. GormanTo ask the Lord President of the Council if he will make a statement on the progress being made on reforming the working hours of the House of Commons.
§ Mr. MacGregorA recent example of reforming the working hours of the House has been that, since they were 55W set up in January, the European Standing Committees have made a significant contribution to reducing the burden of late-night debates on the Floor.
My hon. Friend will be aware that a number of right hon. and hon. Members have either submitted written memoranda or given oral evidence to the Select Committee on Sittings of the House.
