Business question from Jim Devine (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 January 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Has my right hon. Friend had time to read early-day motion 1421, which is in my name and has been signed by 65 of my hon. Friends and supported by many more? [That this House believes that the Scottish Parliament should follow the lead of the Welsh Assembly and introduce guidelines for all political parties that ensure that candidates for election cannot stand for both the list and the constituency.] Will my right hon. Friend find time in this Parliament to resolve the anomalous situation of elections to the Scottish Parliament, whereby candidates can stand in a constituency, lose and then be elected on the list?
