    Procedure Committee Oral evidence: Procedure under coronavirus restrictions, HC 300 Wednesday 7 October 2020 Ordered by the House of Commons to be published on 7 October 2020. Watch the meeting Members present: Karen Bradley (Chair); Kirsty Blackman; Bambos Charalambous; James Gray; Andrew Griffith; Mr Kevan Jones; Nigel Mills; Owen Thompson; Suzanne Webb. Questions 319 - 337 Witnesses I: Daisy Cooper MP, Rachael Maskell MP and Dr Philippa Whitford MP. Written evidence from witnesses: – Daisy Cooper MP – Rachael Maskell MP – Dr Philippa Whitford MP Examination of witnesses Witnesses: Daisy Cooper MP, Rachael Maskell MP and Dr Philippa Whitford MP. Q319 Chair: I thank our witnesses for appearing before us today. As you will know, the Procedure Committee has, since the beginning of March, been conducting an ongoing inquiry into the way in which Parliament and the House of Commons operate in the light of the restrictions imposed on all of us as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. We are carrying out a short inquiry on whether specific improvements could be made to how the Chamber operates in light of the ongoing restrictions. In particular, we are looking at the call lists for debates and the way in which time limits operate, although we know that there will be other issues that Members will wish to discuss. They are the key points that we are focusing on with a view to making some recommendations to the Government before the next recess, which I know has been announced. Hence why it is a very short, sharp piece of work. It does not get in the way of our ongoing piece of work looking at the overall way in which coronavirus impacts our procedures, but it is very specifically looking at those areas.
