Letter from Rt Hon Sir Alan Beith MP,
Chair, Liaison Committee (P47, 2010-11)
SELECT COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS
Thank you for your letter of 25 November on select
committee amendments.
As you know, the Liaison Committee discussed this
at our meeting on 2 December. We would like the Procedure Committee
to pursue the proposal put forward by your predecessor Committee
in the last Parliament, which would allow select committees to
table amendments to bills and motions in their own name. We discussed
the arguments for and against giving priority to such amendments
and felt that your Committee was best placed to consider the principles
and practicalities involved.
