Proceeding contribution from Pete Wishart (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill.

Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill

The hon. Gentleman mentioned minorities. I think that the Liberal Democrats’ new clause has its merits, in that the minority parties would be included. The hon. Gentleman is more than aware that we are not included on all Select Committees. In fact, we are on very few of them. That means that we would have no say in any veto. The Liberal Democrat proposal would allow us at least an opportunity to participate.
