Business question from Pete Wishart (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 May 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
The right hon. Gentleman is emerging as a truly reforming Leader of the House and I know that he is keen to represent all shades of opinion in the House. Will he therefore have a look at the membership of the Liaison Committee and work to end the exclusion of the minority parties? Even a cursory glance at the arithmetic will show that we are entitled to a place, and it is not good enough simply to say that membership is confined to the Chairs of Committees, because co-option is an easy matter. Will he demonstrate that he truly speaks for the whole House by ending this unfair exclusion?
