Proceeding contribution from Christopher Chope (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 May 2014. It occurred during Debate on House of Commons Business.
House of Commons Business
My right hon. Friend will recall that he put down a motion on the Order Paper last autumn to restrict Mr Speaker’s discretion to accepting only three amendments. I am glad, as the person who blocked that original motion, that he has had second thoughts and is now going to allow Mr Speaker to select up to four amendments. Can my right hon. Friend explain why he feels we need to inhibit Mr Speaker exercising his discretion in this matter?
