Motion Text

That this House requests the Procedure Committee to address the anomaly whereby adjournment debates cannot be secured by hon. Members on matters falling within the responsibility of the Prime Minister, such as departmental reorganisations of Whitehall; and suggests that Cabinet Office Ministers, or others as appropriate, be invited by the Speaker to stand in for the Prime Minister in such circumstances.
