House of Commons Procedure Committee
We have an invitation to meet with the Westminster Procedure Committee. Again, we have a paper from Barry. In this paper, Barry has flagged up issues that we might explore with that committee.
I did not receive paper PR/99/3/6.
I do beg your pardon. We will get that sorted.
We will not go through this in any detail now. It is a very full paper, which indicates the sort of matters that we might profitably discuss with the House of Commons Procedure Committee and the Modernisation of the House of Commons Committee, which appear to overlap to a degree. The paper is here for noting this morning. When they have looked at it in greater detail, members will have the opportunity to flag up other issues that they might wish to explore. I am sure that our meeting with the House of Commons committees will not be the last one that we will have.
Given that you, Mike, have not had the opportunity to read the paper, we will put this on the agenda for the next meeting, in case there are issues that you would like to raise.
Will we set a date for such a meeting?
The next meeting will be in a fortnight.
I mean the date for a meeting with the House of Commons committee.
We intend to negotiate a date for that meeting as soon as possible.
