INFORMATION FOR BACKBENCHERS ON STATEMENTS

That this House commends the Speaker on the action he has taken over the past year to reassert the principle that Ministers
ought to make statements to the House before they are made elsewhere; notes that paragraph 9.1 of the Ministerial Code says
that when Parliament is in session, the most important announcements of Government policy should be made in the first instance
in Parliament; believes that compliance with this principle is essential for backbenchers to be able to represent the interests
of their constituents and hold the Government to account; and invites the Procedure Committee to consider how the rules of
the House could be better used or, if necessary, changed to ensure compliance with this principle and to develop a protocol
for the release of information.

No. 152J (7)).
