HC Deb 04 December 1995 vol 268 c28W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Lord President of the Council what proposals he has for submitting the Bills proposed in the Queen's Speech to pre-legislative inquiries by Select Committees. [598]

Mr. Newton

It will be proposed that the Armed Forces Bill be committed to a Select Committee prior to its conventional Committee stage. This is the usual practice for such Bills, which are required once every five years.
