Select Committee Reports

HC Deb 06 April 1998 vol 310 c35W

Mr. Corbyn

To ask the President of the Council if she will increase the opportunities available for debating Select Committee reports. [36299]

Mrs. Ann Taylor

I am prepared to consider increasing the number of opportunities for such debates it if is clear that the demand for them really does exceed the current supply. Any increase under current arrangements would have to come on Wednesday mornings and would therefore be at the expense of other adjournment debates.
