§ 39. Mr. Simon HughesTo ask the Lord President of the Council when he will be in a position to announce an annual parliamentary calendar.
§ Mr. NewtonI have already made progress towards giving the House greater notice of recess dates, having announced Easter recess dates on 26 November and the Whit recess dates on 4 February. How far it will prove possible to build further on this is of course linked with the discussions on the Jopling report to which I referred in an earlier reply today.
