Proceeding contribution from Robert Smith (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 April 2010. It occurred during Debate on Business of the House.


Business of the House

I note that one piece of unfinished business has not been included in the motion. Can the Leader of the House explain why no time has been allocated for the House to implement the Standing Orders for which it voted so overwhelmingly in principle, and which would finally redeem at least something of the record of the Government and the House in regard to reform? What held the Leader of the House up? Were the official Opposition against the allocation of that time, or were the Government against it?
