PARLIAMENTARY MODERNISATION AND REFORM

Motion Text

That this House takes note of recent changes in business management of the House; believes that a number of other changes deserve early examination both in terms of the modernisation of parliamentary procedure and increasing the accountability of the executive to the legislature; and requests that, given the inevitable time constraints on the Procedure Committee, the Leader of the House consults and brings forward proposals for a cross-party mechanism that would enable an early examination of these matters.
