REGIONAL SELECT COMMITTEES

That this House notes the proposals for regional select committees in the third report of the Select Committee on Modernisation entitled Regional Accountability; further notes that were these proposals to be adopted by the House the South West Region would have a select committee grossly disproportionate to the political composition of the region, that some counties would not be represented at all, and that hon. Members representing constituencies outside the region would be required to be members of the committee; further notes that these unsatisfactory proposals were passed only on the casting vote of the Chairman; and calls on the Modernisation Select Committee to reconsider its proposals.
