Business of the House

Debate between Baroness Winterton of Doncaster and John Howell

Thursday 21st January 2021 Commons Chamber

[John Howell (Henley) (Con) [V]]

Last week, I was appointed by the Prime Minister as the leader of the British delegation to the Council of Europe. My right hon. Friend’s predecessor as Leader of the House, my right hon. Friend the Member for South Northamptonshire (Andrea Leadsom), looked favourably on the idea of a regular debate to let people know what we are doing in the Council of Europe. May I push my right hon. Friend the Leader of the House a little on whether that idea finds favour with him?

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Rosie Winterton)]

Congratulations!
