Business of the House

Matthew Offord Excerpts

Thursday 26th September 2019 Commons Chamber

[Mr Rees-Mogg]

As I understand it, the Chancellor will take questions on Tuesday, and it is normal for a three-day rota to be set. [Interruption.] Will it be Monday? It will be available in the Table Office, and I assume that the Prime Minister will make his normal appearance on Wednesday. The Table Office is the right place to go for those questions.

[Mr Rees-Mogg]

That is an ideal subject for an Adjournment debate, Mr Speaker, and I believe that you are open for applications.

[Dr Matthew Offord (Hendon) (Con)]

Our parliamentary democracy has taken a battering in the last few years. Will the Leader of the House bring forward legislation in the Queen’s speech to ensure that the recommendations of the boundary review are implemented and that we will represent constituencies of equal size and proportion?

[Mr Rees-Mogg]

The principle that constituencies should have the same number of electors is a very good and important one.
