Written question asked by Lord Campbell of Alloway (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Falconer of Thoroton (Labour) on Thursday, 9 June 2005.
House of Lords: Joint Committee on Conventions
- Question
- In connection with the proposed Joint Committee on the Conventions of the House of Lords: (a) who will propose the terms of reference; and (b) whether these will extend to the powers and membership of the House.
- Answer
-
The terms of reference for Joint Committees are normally proposed by the Government and discussed through the usual channels in both Houses, before being put first to one House and then to the other for agreement. I would expect this procedure to apply in the case of the proposed Joint Committee referred to.
