Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour). It was answered by Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Labour) on Tuesday, 23 March 2010.


House of Lords: Procedures

Question
To ask the Leader of the House what proposals there are for reform of the procedures set out in the Companion to the Standing Orders and Guide to the Proceedings of the House of Lords.
Answer

My Lords, we have adopted a considerable number of procedural reforms recently. I know that there is a wide spectrum of opinion around the House on this issue but I believe that we could find consensus around various ideas that would merit further exploration. I believe that the establishment of a Leader’s Group is the right mechanism for considering possible innovations and I hope that a group will be established following the general election.
