Proceeding contribution from Bernard Jenkin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 March 2011. It occurred during Backbench debate on Publication of a Select Committee Report.


Publication of a Select Committee Report

We looked at that suggestion, but it is rather difficult because there is no legal definition of a PPS. However, they are referred to in the ministerial code. I wonder whether something procedural could be done under Standing Orders to formalise the arrangement, or whether they could be given statutory status. However, that is a step further than our report went.
