Business question from Peter Bone (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

Yesterday was a huge embarrassment for the Leader of the House. The previous week, she had promised plenty of time to discuss the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill and that there would not be a statement. That did not happen yesterday; the Leader of the House was lent on by the Prime Minister. I hope that the Leader of the House is in fact unwell and recovers soon, and that the reason she is not present is not that she is considering her position today.
