To ask the Lord President of the Council whether he is now in a position to respond to the report from the Select Committee on Sittings of the House (House of Commons Paper 20 of Session 1991–92).

50. Mr. Ian Bruce

To ask the Lord President of the Council if he will make a statement on the progress of amending the hours of sittings of the House.

In the light of further discussions I have had with the right hon. Member for Derby, South (Mrs. Beckett) I will want to consider how we might take this forward. I regret that we have been unable to make more progress before the recess.
