Gavin Williamson
Indeed; my hon. Friend makes a valid point. The coalition agreement set out many aspects of what this Government would be bringing forward in the Queen’s Speech and enacting into law. The key is that this is not necessarily about those issues but about the smaller announcements that are often made in this House. What is important and what is not?
Mr Nuttall
The Procedure Committee report makes it clear that if a complaint is made by a Member to the Speaker, the Speaker would have the power to dismiss trivial complaints.
Gavin Williamson
It would be marvellous if this debate were purely about the Procedure Committee’s report, but it is not—it is about the motion.
