Proceeding contribution from David Heath (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on Sittings of the House.


Sittings of the House

The amendment and the motion, I think, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Of course, the motion sets out the Fridays on which private Member's Bills can be considered, and I was considering the procedure that would be applied on those Fridays were the House to agree to them. My contention is simply that the procedure is in desperate need of reform. That is one of the key reforms put forward in the proposals, but it is typical of this Government that we have these proposals and they never get debated. Week after week, we ask at business questions for them to be debated.
