Proceeding contribution from Robert Smith (Liberal Democrat) 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

How would the ministerial undertaking work under the terms of this new provision, which would constrain a Committee in expressing its reservation?
