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

Administration Committee

When I entered the House, there was a long and honourable tradition among some well-known Chairmen of sleeping happily through the most complex of Standing Committees, particularly on the Finance Bill. So far as I know, they were never removed from the Chairmen’s Panel. Once we get involved with these proposed gradations, we shall get into the most terrible mess. That is why I opposed the proposals for paying Select Committee Chairmen. Would it not be sensible just to say, ““Pay the gentlemen””?
