Proceeding contribution from Lord Strathclyde (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 26 March 2012. It occurred during Debate on select committee report on Liaison Committee: Third Report.

Liaison Committee: Third Report

My Lords, there is going to be a new committee on post-legislative scrutiny of adoption and family services; more pre-legislative scrutiny; and two new committees, one on SMEs and exports and the other on public services and demography. All of these are designed to serve the interests of the public using much more of the expertise that exists around the House. This decision was not taken easily or capriciously; its implications were well understood. As I have said, in the longer term there is no reason why we should not revisit it.
