Business question from Nicholas Winterton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 March 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Does the Leader of the House accept that it makes complete nonsense of the role and responsibilities of this House for large tranches of important public Bills to go through to the other House without being adequately debated in this House? Does she further accept that one way to stop this stupid practice is to change Standing Orders to prevent guillotines—programme motions—on the remaining stages of legislation in this House?
