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?
