Proceeding contribution from Helen Goodman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Parliament (Joint Departments) Bill [Lords].


Parliament (Joint Departments) Bill [Lords]

I am sorry. Let me say to the hon. Gentleman that the Bill sets out a general proposition for joint departments because it took slightly longer to bring forward the measure than would have been the case from a management point of view because of the shortage of parliamentary time. There are no plans for new joint Departments, but if decisions are made later, we will not need to wait for full establishment. I hope that that is satisfactory. Question put and agreed to. Clause 1 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
