Speaker's Statement

Lindsay Hoyle Excerpts

Thursday 22nd April 2021 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

I have a short statement to make about Select Committees. On 24 March 2020, the House passed an Order allowing for the virtual participation in Select Committee meetings and giving the Chairs associated powers to make reports. Under the powers I was given in the Order, I notify the House that I am extending the Order until Monday 21 June.

Let us now make the necessary arrangements. I suspend the House for three minutes.
