Business question from Lord Young of Cookham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 April 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Reverting to next Thursday's business, how committed is the right hon. and learned Lady to a 1 July start date for all the propositions, which seems to me extremely challenging? If there is some flexibility, does that not strengthen the argument for allowing Sir Christopher Kelly to complete the job that the Prime Minister asked him to do? How on earth can the House sensibly vote next Thursday for a new proposition when we do not know what the daily rate is going to be? There are public expenditure consequences, and we should not sign a blank cheque.
