Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on Home Affairs.


Home Affairs

I beg to move,"That, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order No. 121 (Nomination of select committees), Mr John Denham be discharged from the Home Affairs Committee and Keith Vaz be added." I am moving this motion because without it there will be a gap between now and October in the ability of the Home Affairs Select Committee to carry out its important work. It is important that the House maintain a fully effective system of scrutiny of Government by the departmental Select Committees.
