Proceeding contribution from Philip Davies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 January 2008. It occurred during Business statement and Oral statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
It really is not good enough for the Leader of the House to tell Members to make suggestions for topical debates. Does she not think it might be noticed that every time the Prime Minister makes an announcement about something on a Monday, it miraculously becomes the subject of a topical debate on the following Thursday? During the debate on apprenticeships, the Under-Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills, the hon. Member for Tottenham (Mr. Lammy), said that"““the debate is topical given that the Prime Minister has made announcements on apprenticeships in the past few days.””—[Official Report, 29 November 2007; Vol. 470, c. 468.]" Will the Leader of the House guarantee that from next week onwards, she will stop this farce of arranging a topical debate on whatever the Prime Minister mentions on a Monday?
