Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 4 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on Chair (Terminology).

Chair (Terminology)

Does the Leader of the House agree that there are a number of Committees—not just the Public Accounts Committee—that ought to be chaired by a Member of the Opposition? I have sat on the European Scrutiny Committee now for 25 years and it has always been the case that the chairmanship of that Committee was in the gift of the Opposition. Does she agree that that should apply, as it does to the Public Accounts Committee and the Committees that consider secondary legislation, because these are scrutiny Committees?
