Early-day Motions

Greg Knight Excerpts

Monday 6th February 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mr Heath]

I do not think I can really take any interventions at this point, because of the time.

[Mr Greg Knight (East Yorkshire) (Con)]

Will the hon. Gentleman give way?

[Mr Heath]

I will give way to the Chairman of the Procedure Committee, because he has a role in taking this matter forward.

[Mr Knight]

Let me place on record the fact that I am here listening to the debate; I am not here as an advocate. I am happy to give an assurance that I will take hon. Members’ views back to the Procedure Committee.

[Mr Heath]

I am extremely grateful to the right hon. Gentleman, who rather pre-empts the final comment that I was going to make. I was going to ask him and his Committee to take this matter forward. I now know that when I make that request, the answer will be in the affirmative, for which I am grateful.
