Adjournment Debates (Hansard, 20 November 2001)

HC Deb 20 November 2001 vol 375 c174W 174W

§ Mr. Cox
To ask the President of the Council if he will increase the time allocated for the Christmas, Easter and summer Adjournment debates. [15410]

§ Mr. Robin Cook
The introduction of Westminster Hall has greatly increased the number of Adjournment debates available, and, indeed, returned the pre-Adjournment debates to the Floor of the House.
The Modernisation Committee may look at them when it examines the future of Westminster Hall, but I see no need for immediate change.
