Speaker’s Statement

Lindsay Hoyle Excerpts

Tuesday 12th January 2021 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

I have a short statement to make about Select Committees. On Tuesday 24 March, the House passed an order allowing for virtual participation in Select Committee meetings and giving Chairs associated powers to make reports. I was given a power under the order to extend it if necessary. I can notify the House today that I am now further extending the order until Friday 30 April.
