Business of the House

I will certainly look into the right hon. Gentleman’s request. When I was Foreign Secretary, I was in the vanguard—along with the then Minister for Europe—of seeking ways to improve the scrutiny of European business by the House. I promise the right hon. Gentleman, and you, Mr. Speaker, that I will look very carefully at the overall recommendations to improve scrutiny by the House.
