PRIVATE MEMBERS' BILLS

Early day motion 326, tabled 9 September 2014 by George Howarth (Labour). Signed by 18 members.

That this House believes that Private Members' Bills should be debated on 26 sittings held on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings between 7.00pm and 10.00pm instead of on 13 Friday sittings; notes that this proposed revision would mean the House would sit for an additional six and a half hours in a session; and, accordingly, calls on the Procedure Committee to come forward with the necessary amendments to Standing Orders to implement such changes.

Signatures by party: Labour 9, Liberal Democrat 3, Conservative 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Green 1, Independent 1.
