Business of the House

"I know my right hon. Friend worries, as I do, about the cost to every family of filling their car. She will have seen media reports that, despite wholesale prices going down, the prices on garage forecourts remain stubbornly high. Will she allow Government time for a debate on FairFuelUK’s …..."

Written Question
Palace of Westminster: Repairs and Maintenance
Thursday 26th May 2022

Asked by: Andrea Leadsom (Conservative - South Northamptonshire)

Question to the Leader of the House:

To ask the Leader of the House, what steps he is taking to help ensure that the House will be able to review the proposed changes to Parliament’s restoration and renewal programme.

Answered by Mark Spencer

Work is continuing, at the direction of the House Commissions, on preparing for changes to the Restoration and Renewal (R&R) Programme. An independent assurance panel has provided advice which will inform the Commissions’ deliberations and recommendations. The two Houses will then be asked to consider a revised mandate for the works and changes to the sponsorship function. The debates are currently planned to take place before the summer recess.

R&R is a Parliamentary programme and the responsibility of Parliament. As any change will ultimately be a matter for the two Houses, I am committed to ensuring that Members are able to make informed decisions and review the proposed changes before making a decision.

Committee on Standards

"I am very disappointed in the hon. Member for Perth and North Perthshire (Pete Wishart), because, in effect, he is accusing me, having worked with me over years on achieving justice for this place, of being completely disingenuous. I find that very personally disappointing.

Today is a day for serious …..."

"I am incredibly sympathetic to what the right hon. Lady says. In fact, I was about to come on to what many in the Chamber are asking, which is, “Why bring forward this review today, on the day we are being asked to consider one particular case?” She asks why …..."

Committee on Standards

"My hon. Friend raises an important point, which came up time and again during consideration of the independent complaints and grievance scheme. It was made very clear that, in a democratically elected system, ultimately, it has to be for elected colleagues to be able to make the final decision. That …..."
