Business question from Lord Young of Cookham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 October 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
The Deputy Leader of the House has on three occasions very elegantly sidestepped the main issue that arose from the Government's handling of yesterday's business, so may I have another shot? Can we have the assurance that my right hon. Friend the Member for Maidenhead (Mrs. May) sought—that in future, when we reach the remaining stages of a Bill, the Government will not, in defiance of the normal conventions of the House, table a timetable motion simply to avoid debate on matters that the Government find inconvenient?
