§ 46. Mr. Ian BruceTo ask the Lord President of the Council if he will make it his policy to publish the estimated full year's parliamentary timetable at once, revise the programme monthly and give a firm programme of the business of the House a fortnight in advance.
§ Mr. NewtonThe unpredictable nature and demands of parliamentary work would make the advance publication of an annual timetable impractical. I am, however, seeking to give earlier notice of recesses wherever possible.
