APPENDIXFIRST REPORT FROM THE SELECT COMMITTEE

ON PROCEDURE OF THE HOUSEMONDAY 1 MARCH 1999

By the Select Committee on Procedure of the House

Ordered to Report:1. Report of the Group on Procedure in The Chamber

At its last meeting the Procedure Committee agreed to a recommendation by the Leader of the House thata Working Group should be established “to consider how the procedures of the House can be improvedwithin the existing framework of self-regulation; and to make proposals for ensuring that Lords are betterinformed of procedure so that self-regulation can work”.1 The Committee has considered the Group’s report2and recommends the House to accept the following proposals for change in the House’s present procedures:

Starred QuestionsA second topical question each week should be created by reserving the fourth question on Wednesdays,

for tabling no earlier than the previous Monday. The second topical question should be subject to the samerules as the existing topical question, in particular the rule that no Lord may ask more than two topicalquestions in one session.3

Lords should be limited to one Starred Question (instead of the present two) on the order paper at any onetime, unless they are successful in the ballot for topical questions.

The Committee endorses the following additional guidance recommended by the Working Group:(a) Ministers’ answers should be shorter. Their initial answer should not generally exceed 75 words.

Supplementary questions and answers should also be shorter and confined to not more than two points.(b) The problem of how supplementary questions should circulate around the diVerent parts of the House

cannot be resolved by a rigid rule. The Government side should not expect to have every alternatesupplementary. In giving guidance, the Leader should be mindful of the interests of all backbenchers,including the Liberal Democrats and the Crossbenchers.

(c) If two or more Lords rise at once, they should be more ready to give way immediately, rather thanprovoke a shouting-match, which is undignified and wastes time. If the Leader rises, other Lords shouldsit down at once.

1999 1951) Martii

The Committee reminds the House that the Lord who tabled the question has no automatic right to ask afinal supplementary question.4

Business immediately after Starred Questions

The Committee is concerned at how much noise is created when Lords leave the Chamber after StarredQuestions. Lords should do so silently; those remaining in the Chamber should avoid conversations at thispoint. It is in order for the Lord moving the next business to pause for a short period until the House is quietagain. The Clerk should not start the clock until he begins to speak.

Drafting of amendments

In appropriate cases amendments should take the form: Page x, line y, leave out paragraph (b), and notPage x, leave out lines 1 to 3.

Grouping of amendments

For an experimental period until the summer recess, government departments should produce draftgroupings of amendments for consultation by 2.30 p.m. on the working day, before debate (rather than atlunchtime on the day, as at present). To enable departments to do this, marshalled lists of amendments shouldbe published on the working day before the debate (rather than on the day of debate, as is normal at present).Lords should be encouraged to facilitate this by tabling amendments no later than 5 p.m. two days beforethe debate, whenever possible. Amendments handed in later than this will be published in a revised marshalledlist or in supplementary list. The experiment should be confined to committee stage.

Tabling of amendments

Outside recesses, the deadline for handing in amendments for printing the next day should be 5 p.m. (4 p.m.on Fridays) instead of 6.30 p.m. (5.30 p.m. for a marshalled list, 4 p.m. on Fridays) as at present. Duringrecesses the deadlines will remain unchanged (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.).

Repeat amendments

An amendment identical (or of identical eVect) to one pushed to a vote by the mover and defeated incommittee should not be retabled for report stage. The amendment should be changed more thancosmetically if it is to be retabled. However, it would not be desirable to restrict the reopening at report stageof an issue debated and voted on in committee.

An amendment agreed to on division in committee should not be reversed at report stage except with theunanimous agreement of the House.

Divisions

The time for divisions should be extended from six to eight minutes; the time for appointing Tellers wouldin consequence be extended from three to four minutes.

“Bill do now pass”

The motion “That this bill do now pass” should be moved formally and should not normally be debated.Ministers should if necessary respond to points raised on the motion by other Lords. The motion should notbe an occasion for thanking those involved in the passage of the bill.

Statements

The Committee does not accept that the number of statements repeated in this House is unreasonable. Theyare important policy announcements. While there will be exceptions, the time for the two Opposition frontbenches and the reply to them should be limited to 20 minutes, as for the backbenches.5 Backbenchers tooshould exercise restraint, restricting themselves to brief comments and questions rather than speeches, so asto allow more Lords to intervene within the 20 minutes available.

The time when a statement is to be taken (for example, “after amendment 20” or “after the first debate”),once agreed between the whips, should be put on the annunciator. A Lord who was not present to hear astatement should not speak on it. The practice of noting unrepeated statements on the cover of Hansardshould be revived.

Courtesies

The Committee endorses the following reminders of the courtesies of the House:

(a) Lords should bow to the Cloth of Estate on entering the Chamber, through not on leaving.6 Lordsshould also bow when the Mace passes.

(b) A Lord who is taking part in a debate is expected to attend the greater part of that debate. It isconsidered discourteous for him not to be present for the opening speeches, for at least the speechbefore and that following his own, and for the winding-up speeches. Ministers cannot be expected toanswer, orally or in writing, points made by a speaker who does not stay to hear the Minister’s closingspeech. A Lord who becomes aware in advance that he is unlikely to be able to stay until the end of adebate should normally remove his name from the list of speakers.

4 Companion, p 85.5 As recommended in the Procedure Committee’s first report 1994-95, agreed to by the House on 10 January 1995.6 Standing Order 17(2).

196 19991)-2) Martii

(c) Reading of speeches is alien to the custom of the House. In practice, some speakers may wish to have“extended notes” from which to speak, but it is not in the interests of good debate that they shouldfollow them too closely.

(d) Lords should never address one another in debate as “you”.(e) Lords should refer to “the noble Lords, the Minister”, or simply “the Minister”, but not “the noble

Minster”.(f) The Lord who follows a maiden speaker (and only that Lord) should congratulate him on behalf of the

whole House. Other Lords should not leave the Chamber while this takes place.(g) Lords should not pass between the Lord who is speaking and the Lord on the Woolsack or in the

Chair.7

(h) Lords should not move about the Chamber while a Question is being put from the Woolsack or theChair. This does not apply when the Lord Chancellor is speaking as a Minister from beside theWoolsack.

(i) Lords should not bring books or newspapers into the Chamber, except for reference in debate.8

The Committee reminds the House that private conversations in the Chamber are not desirable.

TrainingThe Committee agreed that the Working Group’s proposals for training (paragraphs 71-78) should be

considered further. The Clerk of the Parliaments informed the Committee that he proposed to begin arevision of the Companion to the Standing Orders for issue by the beginning of the next session.

The Committee expressed its gratitude to Lady Hilton of Eggardon and the members of the WorkingGroup for their work on procedure in the Chamber.

2. The General Debate Day

The Committee considered a proposal from the Government Chief Whip that, as an experiment from thereturn of the House after the Easter recess, the general debate day should be moved from Wednesdays toThursdays. The experiment would last until such time as government business filled the debate day, probablymid-June 1999. The Committee noted that there was strong opposition to the proposal. If such a change wereto be made on an experimental basis, the Committee recommends that the House should meet at 3 p.m. onWednesdays and 2.30 p.m. on Thursdays.9 However, in the absence of agreement on the Chief Whip’sproposal, the Committee makes no recommendation on the proposal or on sitting times. The issue should beleft to the House to decide.

7 Standing Order 17(1).8 Companion, p 64.9 The Committee was led to understand that this would be because party meetings would be held on Wednesdays.

APPENDIX

LIAISON COMMITTEE

FIRST REPORT SESSION 1998–99

WEDNESDAY 31 MARCH 1999

By the Select Committee appointed to advise the House on the resources required for select committeework and to allocate resources between select committees; to review the select commitee work of theHouse; to consider requests for ad hoc committees and report to the House with recommendations; toensure eVective co-ordination between the two Houses; and to consider the availability of Lords to serveon committees.

Ordered to Report

Future committee activity1. The Committee has given further consideration to the future committee work of the House. OurSecond Report, Session 1997–98, noted proposals including:

(1) a new committee on Overseas Trade to review developments since the last committee on that subjectreported in 1985;

(2) the retention of a sixth sub-committee of the European Communities Committee, addedexperimentally in 1996;

(3) a committee with functions relating to human rights;

(4) the introduction of pre-legislative scrutiny.

2. In addition, the following further proposals have now been put to us:

(5) a joint committee on House of Lords Reform, after the Royal Commission has reported;

(6) a committee to scrutinise treaties;

(7) a select committee on the Obscenity Bill [hl] introduced by the Earl of Halsbury.

3. We understand that the Clerk of the Parliaments plans to strengthen the staV resources available toserve committees, but that recruitment of additional clerks will not be possible before the autumn.Moreover, the availability of Lords to serve on committees and of accommodation to house additionalstaV are factors which limit the possible expansion of committee activity.

4. We propose to meet again before the summer recess to consider further what new committee activityto recommend.

Obscenity Bill

5. At this stage we recommend that the Obscenity Bill [hl] should not be referred to a select committee.In view of the competing pressures we consider it inappropriate that resources should be devoted to acommittee on a bill with no realistic chance of becoming law.

Scrutiny of treaties

6. A strong case was put to us for the appointment of a committee to scrutinise treaties. But we havenoted that the Royal Commission on Reform of the House of Lords has, in its consultation paper issuedearlier this month, explicitly posed the question whether the second chamber should play a greater rolein the scrutiny of draft treaties. We have therefore concluded that it would not be timely to appoint sucha committee in advance of the recommendations of the Royal Commission.

Pre-legislative scrutiny

7. A joint committee on the draft Financial Services and Markets Bill was appointed at the beginningof March, with terms of reference requiring it to report by the end of April. We understand that theGovernment is likely to propose further pre-legislative scrutiny of this kind, for example in relation tothe draft Local Government (Organisation and Standards) Bill published with the White Paper LocalLeadership, Local Choice (Cm 4298).

8. In principle we welcome the involvement of this House in pre-legislative scrutiny. But in view of thepressure for other committee activity we hope that it will be possible to co-ordinate the appointment ofsimilar committees in future and to give reasonable notice in each case. Because of the variety of subjectmatter of draft bills, we endorse the appointment of an ad hoc committee for each draft bill.

9. We were informed by the Chairman of the Delegated Powers and Deregulation Committee that thatcommittee had accepted an invitation from the joint committee on the draft Financial Services andMarkets Bill to submit a memorandum on the delegated powers in the bill. We welcome thisdevelopment, and we hope that the example may be followed in future. When a draft bill is madeavailable for pre-legislative scrutiny, it can only be beneficial for the delegated powers to be subject toscrutiny at an early stage.

1999 30531) Martii—12) Aprilis

Government replies to Reports from the Delegated Powers and Deregulation Committee10. We have considered the recommendation made in paragraph 50 of the Special Report from theDelegated Powers and Deregulation Committee, Session 1997–98. That recommendation related to theexamination of bills by the Delegated Powers and Deregulation Committee. After welcoming thepractice of some Government Departments of responding in writing to the Committee’srecommendations, the Committee went on: “We invite the Liaison Committee to consider whether allDeaprtments should, in future, respond succinctly in writing to those recommendations from thisCommittee for which they are responsible. We consider that it could assist the House’s deliberations ifsuch letter were routinely made available to front-bench spokesmen on the Bill in question, and placedin the Library of the House”.11. We endorse this recommendation, including the proposal that copies of responses should beprovided to front-bench spokesmen and placed in the Library of the House. Whereas responses toreports from other committees are expected to be produced within two months (or six months in thecase of the Science and Technology Committee), it would not be appropriate to lay down a time limitfor such responses. They need to be made in good time for amendments to be tabled to the bill inquestion. In some cases that will require Departments to act within a few days, and we recognise thatoccasionally the timetable for the passage of a bill may make the provision of a written responseimpracticable.

Second Report from the Select Committeeon the House of Lords’ OYces

Tuesday 25th May 1999

By the Select Committee appointed to consider the House of Lords’ OYces

Ordered to Report—The Committee have met and been attended by the Clerk of the Parliaments and the Gentleman Usher of

the Black Rod.

1. Record Copies of ActsThe Committee recommends that the record copies of Acts of Parliament, kept in the House of Lords

Record OYce, should be printed on archival paper instead of vellum, with eVect from the first Act of the year2000. With the agreement of the Master of the Rolls and the Keeper of the Public Records, the productionof the second record copy of each Act for the Public Record OYce should cease.

When the Parliament Rolls of Acts of Parliament were discontinued in 1849, it was resolved by both Housesthat two copies of every Act, whether Public or Private, should be printed on vellum, one to be stored in theRecord Tower (now the House of Lords Record OYce) and the other with the Master of the Rolls (now the

Public Record OYce). The former copy is authenticated by the Clerk of the Parliaments as the oYcialauthority for the published text of an Act. In 1956 vellum was replaced by archival paper for Private Acts.The increasing scarcity and expense of vellum and the printing constraints which it imposes have now led tothe proposal that Public Acts should be similarly treated.

On the advice of conservation experts at the British Library, archival paper has been identified with aproven life expectancy of 250 years and a probable life expectancy exceeding 500 years in good archivalconditions. It is superior to vellum for print quality, is less bulky, and avoids the use of animal products. Thevalue of the potential saving is about £30,000 a year.

Resolutions of both Houses would be needed to give eVect to this recommendation. The Committee hasbeen informed that a comparable recommendation is being made by the Administration Committee of theHouse of Commons.

2. Smoking in the House of LordsFollowing the Report of the Informal Group on Smoking (copies of which are available in the Printed

Paper OYce and the Library of the House), the Committee makes the following recommendations:(i) Smoking should be banned in lavatories and telephone kiosks;(ii) Smoking should be banned in Committee rooms, unless, at a private meeting of a Committee, that

Committee specially gives permission at the time.

3. Lords Reimbursement AllowancesThe Committee was informed that from 1st April 1999 the motor mileage allowance had been increased

by 1.1 pence to 51.2 pence for the first 20,000 miles for the period to 31st March 2000. Further mileage in thisperiod would be payable at the rate of 23.6 pence per mile.

The Committee was further informed that from 1st April 1999 the bicycle allowance had been increasedby 0.1 pence to 6.5 pence per mile.

4. House of Lords Families RoomThe Committee welcomes the provision of a room for the use of immediate family members of Peers. The

Room is not intended to be used as a work or meeting room. It is to be a no smoking area.

Die Mercurii 26) Maii 1999The House met at half-past two o’clock.

APPENDIX

LIAISON COMMITTEE

Second ReportSession 1998–99

Monday 19 July 1999

By the Select Committee appointed to advise the House on the resources required for select committeework and to allocate resources between select committees; to review the select committee work of theHouse; to consider requests for ad hoc committees and report to the House with recommendations; toensure eVective co-ordination between the two Houses; and to consider the availability of Lords to serveon committees.

Ordered to Report

Future committee activity1. The Committee has given further consideration to the future committee work of the House.

Overseas Trade2. We were informed of the withdrawal by Lord Ezra of his proposal for a new committee on OverseasTrade to review developments since the last committee on that subject reported in 1985.

International AVairs3. We considered a proposal put forward by the Earl of Sandwich for the establishment of a SelectCommittee on International AVairs. This would be a sessional rather than an ad hoc committee. We

614 199919)-20) Julii

have doubts about the timeliness of appointing such a committee now, but we noted the strength ofsupport for the proposal from members of the House and we propose to keep the matter under review.

Pre-legislative scrutiny4. In our First Report of this Session we welcomed the involvement of this House in pre-legislativescrutiny, but expressed the hope that it would in future be possible to co-ordinate the appointment ofsimilar committees and to give reasonable notice in each case. We were therefore disappointed to notethat the Select Committee on the draft Freedom of Information Bill had been appointed at short noticeat the same time as the Joint Committee on the draft Local Government (Organisation and Standards)Bill, creating acute staYng diYculties. We were however encouraged to learn that the Government hopeto be able to introduce a degree of co-ordination into the arrangements for pre-legislative scrutinynext Session.

Ad hoc committees5. We were informed that the Select Committee on the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank ofEngland is expected to report shortly. In the autumn we hope to be able to recommend the appointmentof a successor ad hoc committee, and we shall welcome proposals for suitable subjects.

Committee staV

6. We noted with satisfaction the Clerk of the Parliaments’ intention to strengthen the staV of theCommittee OYce in the autumn, by means of the appointment of two additional Clerks and threeadditional support staV, with a view to increasing the resources available to serve existing committeesand to provide some capacity to serve committees undertaking pre-legislative scrutiny.
