Accountability to the House of Commons of Secretaries of State in the House of Lords - Procedure Committee Contents



EMAIL FROM CHAIRMAN TO MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE

  The Speaker has asked the Procedure Committee to inquire into increasing the accountability to the House of Commons of Ministers in the House of Lords.

  To assist in our work, we should be very grateful for your views on the following points:

    — Do you think that Secretaries of State in the House of Lords should be more directly accountable to the House of Commons?

    — If so, do you think that such scrutiny should take place in the Chamber, Westminster Hall or another forum?

    — Should such scrutiny take the form of questions or also include debates?
