HC Deb 10 July 1997 vol 297 c524W
Mr. Forth

To ask the President of the Council if she will give for the review of the workings of the House of Commons(a) the expected completion date and (b) the cost of conducting the review. [8244]

Mrs. Ann Taylor

The House has ordered that the Select Committee on the Modernisation of the practices and procedures of the House should seek to make a first report to the House before the Summer Adjournment and I expect it to do so. It is not yet possible to estimate the timing of future reports or the costs of the Committee's work.
