Business question from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 30 March 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
Before I wish my right hon. Friend a happy Easter, may I ask whether he was able, at his recent lunch, to discuss with his friends in the media the possible reform of the Lobby? Some of us believe that, given that everything in this wonderful institution is being reformed, it is about time for the Lobby to be reformed too. The matter is worthy of discussion. I advanced my interest in politics by reading about what happened in this place, which used to be well reported in the serious press. That is no longer the case, and many hon. Members would prefer briefings to be attributable, rather than unattributable. Is not that something that he, as Leader of the House, should take up?
