Proceeding contribution from Nicholas Winterton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on Use of the Chamber (Youth Parliament).

Use of the Chamber (Youth Parliament)

I express my views with conviction—whether that constitutes apoplexy is a matter of individual judgment. If the proposal had come forward as a recommendation for the Modernisation Committee, I would not have supported it. As my right hon. Friend the Member for East Yorkshire (Mr. Knight) said, the then Deputy Leader of the House answered a question in 2007 by saying that the matter would be referred to the Modernisation Committee. That has not happened. I also emphasise that the Modernisation Committee has not met since the summer recess.
