Proceeding contribution from Evan Harris (Liberal Democrat) 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

As a fellow non-expert member of the Committee, and a fellow innocent, may I ask the hon. Lady what representations she made to her friends in the Whips Office when the Committee's terms of reference were being drafted in order to say that they were far too narrow? What representations did she make—perhaps she did make them—saying that the Whips should have established the Committee much earlier so that we might have had time to do something even more ambitious than we did?
