Written Question
Private Members' Bills
Monday 5th January 2015

Asked by: Jason McCartney (Conservative - Colne Valley)

Question to the Leader of the House:

To ask the Leader of the House, if he will (a) reassess and (b) increase the amount of parliamentary time allocated for Private Members' Bills.

Answered by Lord Hague of Richmond

No. In July 2012 the House voted against a proposal to consider Private Members' bills on Tuesday evenings, following a report from the Procedure Committee on Sittings of the House. In its subsequent report on Private Members' bills, the Committee assessed the timing of consideration for these bills but did not recommend a significant increase in the total amount of time available.
