Select Committee on Modernisation of the House of Commons Minutes of Evidence

Submission from Gisela Stuart MP

  I just want to make one brief observation. I think publishing the Commission's Annual Programme as a White Paper was an important step in the right direction. Ultimately, we should get to a position where the Special Committee which was set up for the Convention—a Joint Committee of both Houses and one where evidence could be taken from non-Ministers—should be extended to be used for questioning individual Commissioners on the Annual Programme.
