Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Mark Pritchard (Conservative). It was answered by Nigel Griffiths (Labour) on Monday, 10 July 2006 on behalf of the Leader of the House of Commons.


Select Committee Reports

Question
What assessment he has made of the merits of enabling more Select Committee reports to be debated on the Floor of the House; and if he will make a statement.
Answer

There are merits in enabling as many reports as possible to be discussed here in the House of Commons, but the time pressures on parliamentary business do limit that. Fortunately, our increasing use of Westminster Hall during recent Sessions has enabled hon. Members to debate many Select Committee reports and to call Ministers to account.
