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

Submission from Rt Hon Andrew Mackay MP

  Thank you for your letter of 29 June concerning the review of sitting hours.

  I believe that the new arrangements are working well and should be continued. I think it would be decidedly premature to revert to the old hours—from well over 20 years in the House I believe they are anti-social and demeaning Parliament.
