Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on Home Affairs.


Home Affairs

My recollection is that all the Ministers were appointed quickly, but I have been told that the Home Affairs Committee met yesterday and appointed the hon. Member for Walsall, North (Mr. Winnick) as its temporary Chairman. The Committee is therefore fully competent to continue, albeit with one member who does not participate or vote. Can it not do all its business in that way until we come back after the summer?
