APPENDIX

First Report from the Select Committee on Procedure of the House

TUESDAY 19 DECEMBER 2000

By theSelectCommittee on Procedure of the House Ordered toReport: 1. The general debate day The Committee considered a proposal to move the general debate day from Wednesday to Thursday for an experimental period from February 2001 to the end ofthe present parliamentary session. There would also be, subject to agreement in the usual channels, general debates on important issues on a few Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Certain members of the Committee were opposed to the proposal. They reported opposition among backbenchers they had consulted. The Committee noted that there was opposition to the proposal, but decided that it was proper that the House itself should debate and decide the issue. If the Committee rejected the proposal, there would be no report from the Committee for the House to debate. For this reason, the Committee recommends the proposal to the House so that the House may decide.

2. Ministerial1 statements In March 1999 the Committee recommended that “while there will be exceptions, the time for the two Opposition front benches and the reply to them should be limited to 20 minutes, as for the back benches.” It is diYcult in practice to deﬁne the exceptions, and the reference to exceptions has been omitted from the Companion to the Standing Orders. On some recent occasions, when long statements have led to long contributions from the Opposition front bench spokesmen, the rule has led to ministers cutting short their answers to the spokesmen, in order to comply with the 20 minute limit. The Committee approves the practice of the House that statements should not be made the occasion for immediate debate. However, the Committee recommends that ministers should not cut short their replies, even if this means going beyond the 20 minute limit.

3. En bloc appointment of sessional select committees The Committee recommends that the Chairman of Committees should, at the beginning of a new session, be entitled to move en bloc the motions appointing select committees, deputy charimen and any other bodies nominated by the Committee of Selection, without the need for a Business of the House motion. There should instead be an italic notice on the Order Paper of the day informing the House that the Chairman of Committees will, unless any Lord objects, move the motions of appointment en bloc.

First Report (1998–99), HL Paper 33. Die Mercurii 20) Decembris 2000 The House met at half-past two o’clock.

APPENDIX 2 LIAISON COMMITTEE

First Report Session 2000-01

Tuesday6February 2001

By the Select Committee appointed to advise the House on the resources required for select committee work and to allocate resources between select committees; to review the select committee work of the House; to consider requests for ad hoc committees and report to the House with recommendations; to ensure eVective co-ordination between the two Houses; and to consider the availability of Lords to serve on committees. 2001 6) Februarii 111 Ordered toReport A select committee on human cloning and stem cell research 1. On 22 January 2001 the House approved the Human Fertilisation and Embryology (Research Purposes) Regulations 2000, and in doing so agreed “that this House calls on the Government to support the appointment of a Select Committee of the House to report on the issues connected with human cloning and stem cell research, and to undertake to review the Regulations following the report of that Select Committee”. 2. We have accordingly considered how best to make available the necessary resources for such an ad hoc committee. In order to avoid undue delay in setting it up, we recommend that the Science and Technology Committee should be reduced from two units of activity to one for the duration of the existence of the new committee. 3. The use of such a reduction in order to allow for other committee activity was ﬁrst proposed in 1992 in the Report of the Committee on the Committee Work of the House, under1 the chairmanship of Earl Jellicoe: “If the House is to take on some other committee activity, priorities and the availability of resources will from time to time dictate that the Committee must operate through a single sub- committee, or itself conduct an inquiry in the absence of sub-committees.” Hitherto this proposal has never been put into eVect, but there are several reasons why it is appropriate now: (1) The new committee is on a scientiﬁc subject. So the balance of committee activity in the House will be broadly unaVected. (2) This arrangement will make it easier for members of the Science and Technology Committee to be chosen to serve on the new committee, should the Committee of Selection so wish, and will make available the resources of the Science and Technology Committee, in particular the services of its Specialist Assistant. (3) One of the two sub-committees of the Science and Technology Committee is currently undertaking a series of short inquiries and follow-ups, and therefore its work can be suspended quickly without curtailing any current inquiry.

Terms of Reference 4. We propose that the new committee should have the following terms of reference: “To consider and report on the issues connected with human cloning and stem cell research arising from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology (Research Purposes) Regulations 2000.” 5. We also propose that the new committee2 should be asked to report by the end of 2001.

A Select Committee to scrutinise treaties 6. In our Third Report, Session 1999-2000 , we reported as follows on the proposal, originally put to us in 1999, for the appointment of a select committee to scrutinise treaties: “The Royal Commission on Reform of the House of Lords recommended as follows: ‘The Liaison Committee should consider the establishment of a Select Committee to scrutinise international treaties into which the Government proposed to enter’ (Cm 4534, Recommendation 56). In February 2000 the House of Commons Procedure Committee began an inquiry3 into ‘Parliamentary Scrutiny of Treaties and the Ponsonby Rule’. We propose to await the report of the House of Commons Procedure Committee before making a recommendation on this matter.” 4 7. The House of Commons Procedure Committee has now reported , recommending against the setting up of a Commons committee speciﬁcally to scrutinise treaties, and proposing that each treaty should be referred to the relevant departmental committee. The Government response to the Report accepts this recommendation, and in particular accepts that the Foreign and Commonwealth OYce “should send every treaty subject to ratiﬁcation, along with its explanatory memorandum, to what it adjudges to be the relevant select committee. It would then be for that committee to decide whether to take further action on particular treaties, whether by holding informal discussions with the lead Department, consulting with other select committees, or taking formal evidence and reporting to the House.” 8. The House of Commons Procedure Committee, in rejecting the appointment of a Commons sifting committee for treaties, concluded: “We believe that Lord Wakeham’s proposal of such a committee in the reformed House of Lords may have merit.” The Government response to this recommendation was as follows: “This is primarily a matter for the House of Lords, but that House will doubtless wish to consider the arrangements for the scrutiny of treaties in the House of Commons when making any decision.” 9. We have concluded that we should wait to see how the new arrangements in the Commons develop before making any recommendation.
