§ Mr. AllenTo ask the Lord President of the Council what proposals, arising out of the outstanding reports and recommendations of the Procedure Committee, he intends to bring before the House.
§ Mr. MacGregorThe Select Committee on Sittings of the House will inevitably have implications for our procedures, including matters dealt with by the Procedure Committee such as length of speeches. Unless particular proposals for procedural change can be wholly divorced from the matters being considered by the Select Committee—and the recent review of the European Standing Committees which I am currently considering may come into this category—I do not think it would be sensible to deal with them in isolation, in advance of the Select Committee report, and I do not intend to do so.
