Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Hoon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 July 2005. It occurred during Debate on Administration Committee.

Administration Committee

I have always been thoroughly impressed by the hon. Gentleman’s work, both generally in the range of activities that he pursues in the House on behalf of his constituents, and specifically in the excellent way in which he has chaired the Procedure Committee—not a Committee on which many right hon. and hon. Members volunteer to serve. He has done so with great distinction and that has informed the work of the Modernisation Committee. I still believe that there are times in the House when speedy change is required. Perhaps the Modernisation Committee moves more quickly simply because it has the benefit of the Leader of House as its Chairman. That is obviously a matter for the House. However, given the proposal that is before the House, I hope to be re-elected as its Chairman in due course and to be able to continue its excellent work. Crucial to that is the knowledge and experience that Members can bring to bear on its work. If the House so decides, I look forward to the hon. Gentleman again making a valuable contribution to the Committee’s work.
