Proceeding contribution from Lord Steel of Aikwood (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 16 June 2010. It occurred during Debate on select committee report on Liaison Committee: First Report.

Liaison Committee: First Report

My Lords, I wish to speak in support of what the noble Lord, Lord Alton, has said. If the people who decide what committees we have are the people who chair those committees, there is a democratic deficit within this House. Surely that cannot be right. I hope that the Chairman of Committees will agree to give further thought to this very important matter.
