Proceeding contribution from Lord Maples (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 November 2006. It occurred during Debate on Legislative Process.

Legislative Process

I think that those who discussed the sub judice question during the debate agreed that we would like to see how the system works from now on and whether it will be necessary to revisit it. Can the Leader of the House devise a way for him to be kept informed when questions or issues in Select Committees or elsewhere are ruled out of order as sub judice? Perhaps in a year’s time we could look at the question again to decide whether it is necessary to amend the rule.
