Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 July 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Crossrail Bill.


Crossrail Bill

The Secretary of State is being very helpful. Will he clarify two final things on the instruction process? Will he explain the implication of the first bit of his instruction? What are the environmental matters that cannot be considered by the Select Committee? I think the phrase is,"““prevented from considering by the practice of the House””." Do we all understand the Secretary of State to say that the three matters that were in the additional instruction, but not in his, are actually all public policy matters that he believes it is perfectly proper for Committee and the whole House to consider as and when they want to?
