Business question from David Mundell (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 November 2005. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Is the Leader of the House familiar with the concept of the Sewel motion—the mechanism by which the Scottish Parliament remits its legislative competence on devolved issues to the House? Is he aware that the Parliament recently produced a report on that mechanism? Has he read it, and will he give us a statement as to why, in this area, he is happy to rely on an unwritten constitution on a very important issue, whereas in so many other matters, he wants to regulate?
