Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Cookham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 November 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

I am delighted to see this item on the Order Paper. When I was in opposition, I advocated breaking the monopoly that Ministers have on making statements and allowing Select Committee Chairmen to present their reports on the Floor of the House. I am delighted to see that that recommendation is being carried forward and that there will be such a launch of a report later today. I am writing to the hon. Lady to ensure that we get the template and the Standing Orders right so that this exciting experiment can go from strength to strength.
