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

I understand the hon. Lady’s point of view. She will remember, however, that when I served on her Select Committee, sitting alongside us was my hon. Friend the Member for Vale of York (Miss McIntosh), who was an assiduous and effective performer on that Committee while holding a junior role on the Opposition Front Bench in an entirely unrelated area. In my view, our Committee would have been poorer without her. I am reluctant to give cast-iron views because there are exceptions whereby Select Committees will lose out if they are deprived of expertise simply because someone has moved into a junior role in a separate area.
