Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 October 2007. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

That is a matter of concern to Back Benchers in all parties and, if I might be so bold, it has been a matter of concern to you, Mr. Speaker, as well. As my hon. Friend said, the Modernisation Committee has introduced proposals that the Government will bring forward for debate shortly. Front-Bench spokesmen need long enough to get their argument across, but not so long that Back Benchers do not have an opportunity to intervene or to make their own speeches.
