APPENDIX

First Report from the Select Committee on Procedure of the House

TUESDAY 1 FEBRUARY 2000

By theSelectCommittee on Procedure of the House

Ordered toReport:

1. Freedom of information: applicability to the House of Lords Parliament is included in the list of public bodies covered by the Freedom of Information Bill. The Bill would enable the authorised oYcer of each House to refuse to disclose information either on the ground of parliamentary privilege or prejudice to the eVective conduct of public aVairs. In the House of Lords the authorised oYcer is the Clerk of the Parliaments. In the case of other public bodies, the Bill provides that a dissatisﬁed applicant for information can appeal to the Information Commissioner. But there will be no such appeal in the case of Parliament. In the interests of equity the Committee recommends that the House should have a mechanism to consider whether a refusal by the Clerk of the Parliaments to disclose information is reasonable. The Committee recommends that in cases where the Clerk of the Parliaments is minded to refuse to disclose information on the ground of parliamentary privilege or prejudice to the eVective conduct of public aVairs, 2000 1)-2) Februarii 141 he should ask applicants whether they accept his decision or whether they wish him to reconsider. If he is asked to reconsider, he should refer the matter to a panel of members of the House for advice. The panel should consist of 5 persons, chaired by a Lord of Appeal or a retired Lord of Appeal. The other members should include a representative from each of the parties and the Crossbenches. The panel should have the assistance of the Information Commissioner.

2. Scrutiny of amendments at committee and report stage The Committee considered how major new amendments tabled at report stage could be scrutinised properly, given the restrictions on debate at that stage. The Committee reminds the House that whole bills or certain clauses or schedules may be recommitted to a Committee of the whole House at any time between committee and third reading. Recommitment allows the House to give further detailed consideration to a bill or certain parts of it without the limitations that apply on report and at third reading. In addition the Committee recommends that, in order to improve the scrutiny of legislation, the House should whenever possible have the beneﬁt of a further report from the Delegated Powers and Deregulation Committee, if appropriate, on any signiﬁcant amendments containing delegated powers tabled to a bill after the committee’s initial report.

3. Starred Questions The Committee agreed that the Clerk of the Parliaments should inform the House at the beginning of Question Time when he knows that a Starred Question on the Order Paper is not to be asked.

4. Revision of the Companion to the Standing Orders The Committee was informed that a comprehensive revision of the Companion in Standing Orders was being undertaken. The Committee recommends that for the convenience of members the new edition should be in two volumes. Volume 1 should be an essential practical guide to conduct and procedure in the Chamber; volume 2 would contain more technical information. Both volumes would carry the same authority. The Committee will appoint a small sub-committee to undertake detailed examination of the revised text.

APPENDIX LIAISON COMMITTEE First Report Session 1999–2000

MONDAY 7 FEBRUARY 2000

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. Ordered toReport: Appointment of a further ad hoc committee

1. The Committee has considered what further ad hoc committee should follow the Select Committee on the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England, which reported in July 1999. We have had regard to the desirability of complementing rather than overlapping with the work of House of Commons committees. Two proposals have been made to us. 2000 7) Februarii 155

Monetary Policy 2. The Select Committee on the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England commented as follows in the preface to its Report (HL Paper 96, Session 1998–99):

“When the Liaison Committee recommended the establishment of this Committee it invited us to consider whether the subject matter warranted the appointment of a permanent sessional scrutiny committee. It has become clear to us during our enquiry that the time allowed for us has been suYcient only to scratch the surface of a vast and developing subject. We are mindful, in reporting to the House, that our Report can only be a mere introduction to a new policy that requires in-depth and continuing scrutiny. We beg leave of the House to consider the reappointment of the Commitee in the new session as a permanent Select Committee. Without a Committee such as ours the Monetary Policy Committee would eVectively cease to be accountable to one of the two Houses of Parliament.”

That proposal was supported in a paper submitted to us by Lord Peston, Chairman of the Committee.

The impact of tuition fees on student recruitment in higher education 3. Lord Rix submitted a paper to us proposing the appointment of a select committee on the impact of fees on student recruitment in higher education. He noted that the number of mature students applying for and entering higher education had fallen in 1999/2000 and suggested that a House of Lords committee could usefully seek evidence as to the nature and extent of the problem and propose means of tackling it.

Recommendation 4. Lord Rix’s proposal relates to a topical subject in relation to which the House has a considerable body of expertise. On the other hand it is a subject which falls squarely within the terms of reference of the House of Commons Education and Employment Committee, and we would not wish to risk duplicating the work of that Committee.

5. We recognise the strength of the case for reappointing the Select Committee on the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England, but we are not at this stage persuaded of the case for a permanent sessional committee on that speciﬁc subject. A more broadly based Economic Committee might represent a more eVective use of resources, and we propose to consider the matter further in due course.

6. In the meantime we recommend that a further ad hoc Select Committee on the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England be appointed for a period of not more than a year, and we do not recommend the appointment of a committee on the impact of fees on student recruitment in higher education.

Future Committee activity 7. We have before us proposals for a range of other select committee activity in the House:

— The Government have announced proposals for Joint Committees on Human Rights and on House of Lords Reform. — The Royal Commission on Reform of the House of Lords has made a range of proposals for committee activity, some of them not necessarily dependent on further reform of the composition of the House. — These proposals include one for the appointment of a Constitutional Committee, supported in a submission made to us by Lord Alexander of Weedon. — The Royal Commission speciﬁcally referred back to us a proposal made to us a year ago by Lord Lester of Herne Hill for a committee to scrutinise treaties. We have postponed further examination of this proposal because the House of Commons Procedure Committee has just begun a short inquiry into Parliamentary scrutiny of treaties. — There are likely to be further proposals for the pre-legislative scrutiny of draft bills. 8. The implementation of all these proposals would have long-term implications for the resources of the House – members to serve, staV to support them, accommodation for the committees and their staV, and expenditure on the House of Lords Vote. 9. We propose, therefore, to undertake at our next meeting a general review of the House’s committee activity, on the basis of a paper to be prepared for us by the Clerk of the Parliaments. 156 8) Februarii 2000

APPENDIX 2 Fourth Report from the Select Committee on the House of Lords’ OYces

Tuesday 14th March 2000

By theSelectCommittee appointed to consider House of Lords’ OYces Ordered toReport— The Committee have met and been attended by the Clerk of the Parliaments and the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod.

1. Steps of the Throne The Committee has considered the four categories of heirs to peerages currently allowed to sit on the Steps of the Throne: eldest sons of Peers of Parliament; eldest daughters or grand-daughters of such Peers when heiresses presumptive; grandsons of such Peers when heirs apparent; eldest sons of those who have disclaimed their peerage. 2000 14)-15) Martii 257

In the case of hereditary peerages, these categories all assumed that those exercising the right would eventually become Members of the House. That is no longer true, except as the result of a by-election to become one of the 90 hereditary peers who remain Members of the House. The chances of the eldest son, daughter or grandchild of a hereditary peer who had been a Member of the House being elected would be uncertain, though not impossible. As the original rationale for the four categories no longer applies, the Committee considers that in future the privilege should be granted to the eldest child of a Peer of Parliament, without regard to gender. The Committee was, however, mindful of the need to avoid any unfairness to eldest sons who had previously exercised their right to sit on the Steps of the Throne but who have older sisters, and therefore recommends that the privilege be granted to: “the eldest child of a Peer of Parliament (or the eldest son where the right has been previously exercised).”

2. Black Rod The Committee agreed to an extension of the appointment of Sir Edward Jones for one ﬁnal year to 8 May 2001.

3. StaV of the House The Committee was informed of the following new posts: — an additional Assistant Archivist/Records Manager in the Record OYce; — an additional personal secretary in the Committee OYce; — four Legal Assistants to the Law Lords, the posts to be held for up to one year at a time, with eVect from September 2000.

4. Private Bill fees The Committee agreed to the following increases in fees, broadly in line with inﬂation over the period 1995–99: Current Proposed Fee Fee Payable on First Reading of Private Bill £3500 £4000 Payable on Third Reading of Private Bill £3500 £4000 Payable on Second Reading of Provisional Order Conﬁrmation Bill £3500 £4000 Payable on appearance at Joint Committee on Special Procedure Order £1750 £2000 Payable on appearance at Select Committee on Hybrid Instrument £1750 £2000 Taxation fee per £100 of any bill of costs allowed £1.40 £1.60

5. Emergency Medical Services—Defibrillators The Committee took note of the decision of the Medical Advisory Panel that the House should hold two defibrillators, one in Peers’ Lobby and the other in 1 The Abbey Gardens. The defibrillators and trained personnel will be in place by Easter.

TUESDAY 4 APRIL 2000

By theSelectCommittee on Procedure of the House Ordered toReport: 1. Revision of the Companion to the Standing Orders: appointment of sub-committee The Committee appointed Lord Carter, Viscount Colville of Culross, Viscount Falkland and Lord Skelmersdale as the members of the sub-committee on revision of the Companion to the Standing Orders.

2. The Queen’s Speech The Committee agreed that the Lord Chancellor should no longer read out The Queen’s Speech at the beginning of the resumed sitting after the State Opening of Parliament, but that instead the Speech should be printed in Hansard.

3. Procedure on consideration of Commons amendments The Committee agreed a simpliﬁcation of the procedure for considering Commons Amendments or Reasons. In future the Lord in charge of the bill should always move the initial motion (which is usually to agree with the Commons); and any motion to disagree should be tabled and moved as an amendment to the motion of the Lord in charge. This would deal with all eventualities according to a standard procedure, similar to that with which the House is familiar for amendments at other stages of bills. It would apply to motions to disagree with Commons amendments, to insist on Lords amendments, and to make amendments in lieu or consequential amendments. It should replace the present complication of having diVerent procedures for diVerent circumstances, which sometimes leads to confusion.

4. Sub judice The Committee agreed to a new sub judice resolution as follows:

“Matters sub judice That, subject to the discretion of the Leader of the House, and to the right of the House to legislate on any matter or to discuss any delegated legislation, the House in all its proceedings (including proceedings of committees of the House) shall apply the following rules on matters sub judice: (a)(i) Criminal proceedings are active when a charge has been made or a summons to appear has been issued, or, in Scotland, a warrant to cite has been granted. (ii) Criminal proceedings cease to be active when they are concluded by verdict and sentence or discontinuance, or, in cases dealt with by courts martial, after the conclusion of the mandatory post-trial review. (b)(i) Civil proceedings are active when arrangements for the hearing, such as setting down a case for trial, have been made, until the proceedings are ended by judgment or discontinuance. (ii) Any application made in or for the purposes of any civil proceedings shall be treated as a distinct proceeding. (c) Appellate proceedings, whether criminal or civil, are active from the time when they are commenced by application for leave to appeal or by notice of appeal until ended by judgment or discontinuance. But where a ministerial decision is in question, or in the opinion of the Leader of the House a case concerns issues of national importance such as the economy, public order or the essential services, reference to the issues or the case may be made in motions, debates or questions. 2000 4)-5) Aprilis 317 2. Speciﬁc matters which the House has expressly referred to any judicial body for decision and report shall not be referred to in any motion, debate or question, from the time when the Resolution of the House is passed, until the report is laid before the House. 3. For the purposes of this Resolution— (a) Matters before Coroners Courts or Fatal Accident Inquiries shall be treated as matters within paragraph 1(a); (b) ‘Question’ includes a supplementary question.” The resolution was recommended by the Joint Committee on Parliamentary Privilege because it is desirable that each House should be in the same position to debate a sub judice matter when the circumstances warrant it. The resolution adds to the discretion already exercised by the Leader1 of the House to allow discussion of matters which are sub judice in cases of ministerial decisions and issues of national importance. In being asked to exercise that discretion the Leader must be given at least 24 hours’ notice; and the exercise of the Leader’s discretion may not be challenged in the House. These conditions should also apply to the wider discretion which the Committee now recommends should be conferred on the Leader.

APPENDIX 3

LIAISON COMMITTEE Second Report Session 1999–2000

Monday8May 2000

Ordered toReport Review of the committee activity of the House 1. The present committee work of the House is based largely on the recommendations of the Select Committee on the Committee Work of the House, chaired by Earl Jellicoe, which reported in 1992 (HL Paper 35–I, Session 1991–92). In the light of changes since then, and recent proposals for new committee activity, we have begun a review of the present arrangements. 2. We have considered the resources needed for any increase in committee activity. We understand that financial provision has been sought in the public expenditure review covering the next three financial years to permit a substantial increase in committee staV. Nevertheless the need for extra accommodation for new committees—rooms for meetings and oYces for staV—is a significant constraint. 3. We have reached the following conclusions: (1) The Jellicoe Report recommended that ad hoc committees should become a regular part of the committee structure. We reaYrm that recommendation. (2) We have noted the Government’s proposal to establish, before the Human Rights Act 1998 comes into force in October this year, a Joint Committee on Human Rights. This will be an additional sessional committee. (3) We recommend the appointment of a Constitutional Committee along the lines recommended by the Royal Commission on Reform of the House of Lords (Cm 4534, paragraph 5.22). 4. We propose to continue our review at our next meeting, when we hope to reach conclusions on other proposals placed before us. We shall welcome suggestions for subjects for ad hoc committees. 374 9) Maii 2000

APPENDIX LIAISON COMMITTEE

Third Report Session 1999–2000

Monday 26 June 2000

Ordered toReport

Review of the committee activity of the House 1. The Committee has concluded its review of the committee work of the House. The following initial conclusions were recorded in the Committee’s Second Report (HL Paper 62, 8 May 2000); (1) The Jellicoe Report recommended that ad hoc committees should become a regular part of the committee structure. We reaYrm that recommendation. (2) We have noted the Government’s proposal to establish, before the Human Rights Act 1998 comes into force in October this year, a Joint Committee on Human Rights. This will be an additional sessional committee. (3) We recommend the appointment of a Constitutional Committee along the lines recommended by the Royal Commission on Reform of the House of Lords (Cm 4534, paragraph 5.22).

A Constitutional Committee 2. Further to our recommendation for the appointment of a Constitutional Committee, we recommend that that Committee should be appointed at the start of the next session. Its terms of reference should be: “To examine the constitutional implications of all public bills coming before the House; and to keep under review the operation of the constitution.” 3. The staV needs of the Committee beyond a clerk will depend on how it chooses to work. We recommend that initially the Committee should seek any specialist support which it needs from specialist advisers.

An Economic Committee 4. We recommend the appointment of a sessional Economic Committee after the present ad hoc Committee on the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England has concluded its inquiry. 508 26)-27) Junii 2000 An International AVairs Committee 5. We have given further consideration to the proposal that an International AVairs Committee should be appointed. Such a Committee would largely overlap with the work of the House of Commons Foreign AVairs Committee. We consider that there may be international aVairs subjects which would be suitable for consideration by ad hoc committees — and we would welcome specific proposals — but we do not recommend the appointment of a sessional International AVairs Committee. A committee to scrutinise treaties 6. 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 inquiry 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. An ad hoc committee on animal experimentation 7. We have considered a proposal for an ad hoc select committee on the use of animals in scientific experiments. We believe that this is an appropriate subject for an inquiry by an ad hoc committee and we recommend the appointment of such a committee in the autumn. Resources for committee work 8. The eVect of our recommendations will be to create three new sessional committees — a Constitutional Committee and an Economic Committee in addition to the Joint Committee on Human Rights. Recommendations in the Report of the Royal Commission on Reform of the House of Lords may lead to further expansion. There is also to be an ad hoc Joint Committee on House of Lords reform, and there may be further ad hoc committees to conduct pre-legislative scrutiny of draft bills. 9. We have recommended a significant expansion of committee activity because we believe that the House wishes it, and that there is a suYcient reservoir of members willing to serve. It will be necessary to recruit additional staV to support the new committees, and to provide oYce accommodation for them. We have made our recommendations on the assumption that the House will be prepared to provide these resources.

Die Martis 27) Junii 2000 The House met at half-past two o’clock.

APPENDIX Third Report from the Select Committee on Procedure of the House

MONDAY 3 JULY 2000

By theSelectCommittee onProcedure of theHouse

Ordered toReport: 1. Humble Address for Queen’s Consent When a private member’s bill in the Lords is directed substantially to the Queen’s prerogative, the practice is for the private Member to move an Address seeking the Consent of the Crown before the bill is introduced. This motion may be debated and opposed. 1 The origins of this procedure are unclear and it is conﬁned to private members’ bills. The procedure does not exist in the Commons. The procedure can have the eVect of denying the House any sight of the bill because the bill cannot be introduced if the motion for the Humble Address is succesfully opposed. In the opinion of the Committee, it is not desirable that the House should, on a technicality, be able to reject a bill before seeing it and debating it. The Committee therefore recommends that the practice relating to Queen’s Consent should be the same for private members’ bills as for government bills. In the case of a bill substantially aVecting the prerogative, the government should, on behalf of the private Member, seek Queen’s Consent and, if it is granted, a minister who is a Privy Counsellor should announce it to the House before second reading. Her Majesty the Queen has been consulted about this recommendation and is content to let the House decide the issue. 2. Human Rights: changes to Standing Orders arising from the appointment of a Joint Committee In the expectation that the two Houses of Parliament will agree to appoint a Joint Committee on Human Rights before the summer recess, and in view of the coming fully into force of the Human Rights 2000 3) Julii 533 Act 1998 on 2 October 2000, the Committee recommends amendments to standing orders consequential on such an appointment. A motion to amend the Standing Orders would only be tabled after the House has agreed to the appointment of a Human Rights Committee. The changes proposed are set out below. They would have the following eVects: — to add the new joint committee to the list of sessional committees whose business is not interrupted by prorogation; and — to make the joint committee responsible for scrutiny of remedial orders made under the Human Rights Act 1998, and to relieve the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments of that responsibility. The Committee also recommends that the rotation rule should be applied to the new joint committee, giving Lords members a maximum period of service of four sessions. An extension of three years should be given to any Lord who may be chosen as chairman of the joint committee. The Committee recommends one further amendment to Standing Order 73 (Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments) to bring it into line with an amendment already made in the House of Commons. The amendment is consequential on the devolution legislation. It would exclude from the consideration of the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments any statutory instrument made by a member of the Scottish Executive or by the National Assembly for Wales, unless such a statutory instrument is required to be laid before the United Kingdom Parliament or either House of it. Proposed amendments to Standing Orders Standing Order 40 (arrangement of the Order Paper) After paragraph (6), insert the following new paragraph: (“(6A) Any motion relating to a report from the Joint Committee on Human Rights on a remedial order or draft remedial order laid under Schedule 2 to the Human Rights Act 1998 shall be entered before a motion to approve that order or draft order.”)

Standing Order 64 (sessional committees) After (“House of Lords’ OYces Committee”) insert (“Human Rights Committee”)

Standing Order 72 (aYrmative instruments) In paragraph (1)(a), after (“Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994”) insert (“or a draft remedial order or remedial order laid under Schedule 2 to the Human Rights Act 1998”) In paragraph (b), after (“Delegated Powers and Deregulation Committee”) insert: (“(c) in the case of a draft remedial order or remedial order laid under Schedule 2 to the Human Rights Act 1998, there has been laid before the House the report thereon of the Joint Committee on Human Rights; Provided that the report is laid (i) in the case of a draft remedial order, within 60 days of the laying of the draft order or (ii) in the case of an order not approved in draft, within 119 days of the making of the original order, such periods to be calculated in the manner prescribed by Schedule 2 to the Act;”)

Standing Order 73 (Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments) In paragraph (1), after (“Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994”) insert (“and any remedial order or draft remedial order under Schedule 2 to the Human Rights Act 1998”) In paragraph (2), line 4, after (“but”) insert (“not including any statutory instrument made by a member of the Scottish Executive or by the National Assembly for Wales unless it is required to be laid before Parliament or either House of Parliament and”). 3. The Companion to the Standing Orders The Committee considered and approved a revised text of the Companion to the Standing Orders, as drafted by the sub-committee appointed on 4 April 2000. The Committee expressed its gratitude to the sub-committee for undertaking this arduous task. The Committee agreed that the Companion should be printed on standard A5 paper and continue to be a single volume. It is intended to revise and publish later in the year the Brief Guide to the procedure and practice of the House of Lords, drawing on the new edition of the Companion. The page size of the Brief Guide will be the same as it is now.
