EQUALITY OF ELECTION

The motion

That this House is appalled by the tradition of discrimination in favour of Privy Councillors both at Question Time and in debates; notes that since they are so often called early they avoid the limitations on speaking time which can be applied; and urges the Select Committee on Procedure to examine this out-dated and anti-democratic tradition with a view to recommending that it be scrapped at the earliest opportunity to ensure proper equality of elected members.
