Business question from Desmond Swayne (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 29 June 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.

Business of the House

I ask the Leader of the House, for the third time in six weeks, when he will put on the Order Paper a motion to allow the European Scrutiny Committee to meet in public. Last time he said:"““we must not embarrass ourselves by setting up systems that subsequently fall into disrepute””.—[Official Report, 8 June 2006; Vol. 447, c. 414.]" There is nothing more embarrassing than the idea of that critically important Committee meeting in secret. Nothing would do it more good than the fresh air of public scrutiny.
