Proceeding contribution from Tony Wright (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on Report from the House of Commons Reform Committee on Rebuilding the House.


Report from the House of Commons Reform Committee on Rebuilding the House

In the time that we had available, we did not turn our mind to the composition of the Procedure Committee, although perhaps we should have done. On e-petitions, the fundamental argument—although there are arguments on both sides, not least that of cost—is that the House should have an opportunity to express a view. That is something that underpins our whole report.
