Proceeding contribution from Lord Grayling (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 July 2005. It occurred during Debate on Administration Committee.

Administration Committee

One of the reasons for the delay in appointing Select Committees is that there has been wrangling behind the scenes about who is and is not going to get which job. The Government have tried to ensure that they can use Select Committee chairmanships as a soft landing for Ministers who have lost office. They have also tried to ensure—I see the hon. Member for Crewe and Nantwich (Mrs. Dunwoody) in her place—that Select Committee chairmanships are not occupied by people who are more robust in their criticism of the Government.
