Select Committee on Modernisation of the House of Commons Written Evidence


Submission from Mr Julian Brazier TD, MP

  Thank you for your letter of 8 January 2004. My own view is that we should revert to the old hours for Tuesdays and Wednesdays and rearrange Thursday so that we have a morning and afternoon sitting (with a break for lunch). In that way, we would avoid taking important business over lunchtime, when the chamber—and the press gallery especially—tend to be empty, while maintaining the early getaway on Thursdays, which I know is important to colleagues from further north.

January 2004
