GOVERNMENT MINISTERS IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS

Tabled by Mr Mark Oaten (Liberal Democrat) 40 signatures

The motion

That this House notes the appointment of a new Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform to the House of Lords; further notes that the lead Minister for this Department will therefore not appear in the House of Commons; and calls on the Government to bring forward proposals to ensure that all Government Ministers who are members of the House of Lords be required to attend departmental Questions and make Ministerial Statements in the House of Commons so that the elected House can hold them to account.
