Business question from Ben Wallace (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 February 2011. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

I read with interest the Leader of the House's submission to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority today, including his specific point about family-friendly hours. May I recommend, or ask him to consider, a change that would neither cost the taxpayer any money, nor have anything to do with IPSA, which is to bring forward the time of Thursday sitting from 10.30 am to 9 am, so that colleagues in this House who do not live in the home counties can get home to their families in the north and west of England, Wales, Scotland and Shropshire before midnight?
