Business question from Natascha Engel (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 February 2011. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
The Leader of the House will be aware of today's very important Westminster Hall debate on parliamentary reform, led by the hon. Member for Brighton, Pavilion (Caroline Lucas). Will he join me in encouraging as many newly elected Members in particular to take part in the debate to offer their ideas for making this place work better, and will he show his ongoing support for parliamentary reform by attending in person? Also, the Government have set a grown-up precedent in allowing a free vote on next week's Backbench Business Committee motion on prisoner voting rights. Will the Leader of the House now ensure that votes on all Backbench Business Committee motions will be unwhipped, to ensure that any outcome this House comes to can truly be said to represent the will of the House?
