Proceeding contribution from Ian Lucas (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 October 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Statement.
Work Programme
On a point of order, Mr Havard. One of the great benefits of the parliamentary system is its interactivity and the ability to intervene on speeches; one of the disadvantages of statements is that I am unable to address the many issues that I would have loved to debate with the Minister this morning because I cannot intervene to put such matters to him. When further issues are considered, particularly when a Minister does not provide a written commentary on the statement, which is the normal format for ministerial statements, would it not be preferable for the Minister to make a speech so that interventions may take place?
